    I'd like to thank the Orchidians who wrote in about tarnish-resist
    treatments for copper alloys in response to my post. In the end, I
    got the "Antik Wax", which is beeswax and carnauba wax locally
    packaged but from Poliboy(Germany) and marketed for furniture
    (wood). I smeared it on with a cotton puff, let it dry, and buffed
    it with a fresh puff. I was doubtful that it would do anything, as
    you couldn't see it AT ALL---I was afraid I maybe rubbed it off. But
    it is now almost 2 months later, and I have regularly handled the
    test piece and it shows no signs of tarnish whatsoever! Pretty
    amazing. Will keep an eye on it and report back if and when it
    tarnishes...:-)...
