Wipe the silver with a soft polishing cloth, avoiding the bone panel; never use chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners on an antique organic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem 894870 · David’s Antiques \u0026amp; Jewelry, French Quarter, New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DavidsAntiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49303488036982,"sku":"1126500DA2995P894870","price":1497.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1462\/0578\/files\/894870snuffbottlepanelsilverpendant_1.png?v=1794157339","url":"https:\/\/davidsnola.com\/products\/894870","provider":"David's Antiques \u0026 Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
