McCloskey has seen the popularity of metals come and go.'At one time, brass was in,' McCloskey said. 'Now everybody is going from brass to brushed nickel. I can offer you 13 different finishes on a piece of metal by the process of electro-plating - taking one metal and putting another on top of it.'He also silver-plates and polishes family heirlooms (silverware, tea services, etc.) and brass lighting fixtures, chandeliers and table and floor lamps. 'We can take and refurbish it to make it look like when they got it in the 1800s.'Zito's specializes in restoring chalices, ciborium's and tabernacles and anything else in churches. McCloskey said his motivation is the satisfaction gained for restorations. 'Bringing new life to something the customer brings in gives me a sense of accomplishment,' he said. 'I often hear how something looks better than when it was bought or 'it never looked this good.''
