    Here is a film highlighting a few basic tips to distinguish between copper brass and bronze. Hope you new dealers out there find it useful 😁👍.

    Thank you from central Iowa, USA; I found this very informative. May I ask the size of the last item - the brass plate?

      Hi - I'm glad you found the video interesting. Apologies for the delay in responding but I had to check back through my stock books. The diameter of the brass plate was 15 inches or approximately 39 cm. I will add central Iowa, USA to the subscriber list. Regards, Mark. 😁

    Brass=60% copper+35%zinc+5%led ; Bronze=70-80% copper+led or silicium or aluminum or tin. Ancient Bronze is a copper + 10-12% tin

    Surely a trivet has three legs? I know I'm being pedantic...

    • @antiquescentral

      Traditionally I think you may be correct. But in modern times you can buy them with pretty as well as many feet as you want. Nothing wrong with being pedantic, I'm the same! 🤣👍.

    From Oregon. Enjoyed your informational video. I have a bronze bell with a circle inside a triangle as well as either a person with their hands in the air or a wine glass with a circle in it right below the triangle. I can't find anything on that mark. Do you have any suggestions on where I could look for those marks? Thank you!

    Nice video... Learn a lot about the kinds of metal...in USA.. I had to look up your conversion of 35 pounds? 25 pounds?...in to US dollars to understand your anticipated revenue.

    It’s almost 11 pm here in Arizona USA. I can’t sleep so I’m cleaning my home instead, binge playing your videos in the background because your voice is very soothing and the information is very interesting. I’m having a good time playing the game of what metal is it and how much is it worth. Greetings and goodnight!

      Hi - I'm pleased you found the video helpful. It's not uncommon for even experienced dealers to mix up old brass and bronze, especially if the brass has been oil rubbed to give it a dark antique patina. Regards, Mark.

      Do you mean copper and brass or gold and silver or both?

      Only copper, brass and bronze. I have a few pieces which have initial letters. Researching I found it difficult on copper and brass item's
