Craig Riker, Toledo Ohio, silverplated my '37 reflectors about 20 years ago.  The price then was about $55 total, including shipping.  (Probably more, now!).  The plating is still bright and shiny today, although eventually it is bound to tarnish as any silver plating does.  carsruleme@yahoo.com Craig Riker 419-290-4442.  (I have read that he's more likely to answer the phone than check his e-mails.)

The "Gold Standard" of plating reflectors is still:
Uvira, Inc.
310 Pleasant Valley Rd.
Merlin, OR 97532
Telephone: +1.541.956.6880
Fax: +1.541.476.9096
email: uvira@terragon.com
You have to get your reflectors nickel-plated first, then you send them to UVIRA, which applies a layer of highly polished aluminum, then seals it in a thin layer of glass.  The glass seals the plating and prevents tarnishing.  (Standard silver plating will gradually tarnish over the years.)
