We purchased our solid silver place settings and serving pieces in 1998. At the same time, we purchased Hagerty bags for most, but not all pieces. These bags do a very good job of keeping the silver safe from tarnish, oxidation and corrosion. Three years ago (12/10/07) we purchased additional bags for 4 place settings and 4 service pieces. About a year and a half later, we were appalled to find 4 place settings and 4 service pieces not tarnished (dark brown), but corroded (greenish blue patina), whereas 8 place settings and 4 serving pieces kept in the older bags were pristine. We did not track which bags were related to the corrosion at that time, but suspected the new bags (all with a "made in China" tag). We carefully polished and stored all the silver. On opening them for use for Thanksgiving 2010, 4 place settings and 4 serving pieces were corroded again, this time we know for sure they were stored in the new bags. Needless to say we are very disappointed in the 2007 purchase and Hagerty's failure maintain a quality product.

UPDATE March 2011. The President of Hagerty responded to a letter with an apology and advised me that they no longer use Chinese suppliers for these bags. She sent me replacements for all the subject bags. I have put some silver in the new bags. If these are the same as the older bags, I will be able to report success in about a year.

These cutlery rolls are absolutely the only way to store your silver flatware. Instead of stacking your cutlery on top of each other as happens in storage boxes, each item goes into its own storage slot and each pouch holds an entire place setting all neatly rolled up in silver cloth.
Wooden storage boxes are pretty, but this method has truly helped prevent scratches caused from "stacking".

Instead, I simply place all the pouches in the drawer of my china cabinet and next time I am setting a formal table, I simply reach in an pull out how ever many pouches I am going to need.

I absolutely love this method of storing my silverware. My set was brand new in 1965 when I got married. I love to entertain and I am one to use my good china and silver as often as possible. Yet despite the many uses over the years...storing each place setting in a separate storage pouch has helped to keep my set looking "gently used" over the years.

Now I will soon be purchasing a set for our daughter's silver set.

If you entertain frequently and like to use your good sterling, you know how important it is to keep your place settings reasonably free of heavy tarnish. This little item will not only do that, but also protect your silverware from scratches. Don't hesitate to order -- Nancy's ships very quickly.

The Hagerty place setting roll for siver stroage is just what I needed. They aren't found in every store, but Amazon had them.
