Another gem mark. It's films like this that, well draws you in .never knew about the different sounds they make .you really do learn something different every day..keep it up mark
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.
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 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. 😁

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!
Apologies for not responding sooner. Can you send me a photo of the mark? If you visit my website antiquescentral.co.uk you will find all of my contact details. Regards, Mark.
@@antiquescentral Hi Mark would be good if you could do a " How to series" on waxing and polishing different Metals.woods ect. I would enjoy watch them........
I just polished what I thought was a brass candle holder & it has gone extremely silvery, where it was quite yellow before. No conductivity when I put a magnet on it either, no pull at all. Any ideas!?
Are you based in the UK as it could possibly be silver plate or sterling silver? Look for signs of a hallmark. If it's sterling silver it will have a lion stamp as part of the hallmark. Doesn't sound like stainless steel or chrome on copper but obviously I haven't seen it in person so it's difficult to say. If you visit my website you can get my contact details and send me a couple of photos?
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.
Hi April. Where approximately are you based? I come across them when I'm out and about sourcing in the central England region. They are always listed in my eBay shop if you are in the UK? Regards, Mark.
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! 🤣👍.

Hi - Thanks for your message and kind words, much appreciated. It's strange to imagine my voice filling a house 5,000 miles away in Arizona. 😁👍
It’s 4 am for me😂
Wow, are you trying to get to sleep or do you work nights?

Hi, Mark. Can you please tell me more about researching non ferrous marks? Much appreciated. Thank you
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
Will do my best in an upcoming film. M.
Enjoying your youtube channel videos. 👍
@@leephillips4191 Thanks Lee 😁👍
Thank you from central Iowa, USA; I found this very informative. May I ask the size of the last item - the brass plate?

@@antiquescentral I don't have it anymore.
OK, sorry I couldn't help you at the time. Mark.
good video Mark.....
Thanks Ash. If you have a film you would like me to make, let me know. M 😁👍
@@antiquescentral Hi Mark would be good if you could do a " How to series" on waxing and polishing different Metals.woods ect. I would enjoy watch them........
Strangely enough, you might be pleasantly surprised by next week's film! M 😁👍
@@antiquescentral that sounds good...
Thank you i own an old brass pedestal lamp now i know its brass
Excellent. I'm pleased the video helped you identify your lamp 😁👍.
I just polished what I thought was a brass candle holder & it has gone extremely silvery, where it was quite yellow before. No conductivity when I put a magnet on it either, no pull at all. Any ideas!?

@@antiquescentral no I'm actually in australia. I can't see any markings on it at all, it's really unusual. I'll definitely do that, thank you :)
@@antiquescentral so from what I can find online, it's nickel, which tends to tarnish with a golden colour ☺️ just for informations sake
Yes, good call!👍
Interesting stuff. Where do u pick these things up?
Hi David. I pick up my stock from house calls, antique fairs, flea markets and auctions. Just about anywhere I can to be honest 😁👍.
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.
Thanks for your comment. I've got a feeling it won't be long before the dollar and the pound are the same value! 😁👍
@@antiquescentral 👍
Thank You do you know how hard it is to find a copper bowl
Hi April. Where approximately are you based? I come across them when I'm out and about sourcing in the central England region. They are always listed in my eBay shop if you are in the UK? 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
Thank you for sharing this information with the community, much appreciated. Regards, Mark.
Surely a trivet has three legs? I know I'm being pedantic...
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! 🤣👍.
i am color blind and i dont see the difference!!!
I imagine being colour blind causes a few issues in general?
Spelter!!!!
If you check out the channel there's a video on telling the difference between bronze and spelter 😁👍.
@antiquescentral Sure, I'll take a peek.
@ronaldmcdonald8303 Let me know if you found it helpful? 😁👍
@@antiquescentral Thanks, I watched your video a couple of days ago.
@antiquescentral What's the name of the Aluminium alloy containing magnesium and copper?
Great video, thanks for sharing. I subbed to you.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks for your kind words and welcome to the Antiques Central community. Regards, Mark.
