Alternatively, a quick dip in TarnX (thiourea tarnish remover) should
brighten them right up. Note that TarnX contains a chemical
(thiourea) that has been found by the State of California to be a
carcinogen.... (Luckily, I don't live in CA. It's apparently not
carcinogenic here.)
One of the pink paste silver polishes on a wet sponge would probably
also work, but could remove some of the tin -- though likely not as
much as an eraser.
Best regards,
Charles
