[lace] cleaning bobbins and silver inlays?

[Rick and Sharon Whiteley]

My Dad had a suggestion for keeping my wood bobbins lubricated (he's an old 
woodworker from way back), It is only good for a couple bobbins at a time 
the trick is to rub the bobbin on the side of your nose (provided you aren't 
painted up) :) it does work :)
A question of my own.  I have a couple dozen Dutch bobbins, beautifully 
turned, and most of them have incredible silver inlays.  Actually the maker 
used old silverware (lovely patterns) and inlayed it with unbelievable 
skill.  How on earth do I clean the silver without damaging the wood?  None 
of the silver is in a spot where you would normally handle it so it does get 
tarnished.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.   Sharon on Vancouver Island
