    The Brass Menagerie... stuff you can't bring yourself to just SCRAP

    Soo... I like shiny things. Shiny BRASS things, particularly.



    I busted out the Brasso yesterday & shined up a few things that I just can't seem to bring myself to throw into the brass bucket.

    Well I can't post pics from my dumbphone but I've got a whole shop full of unscrappables. Just to name a few: 6 lawnmowers 3 weedeaters a chainsaw a gas dryer a pressure washer and a huge aluminum box. That's just the big stuff. Totes full of things I tell myself I might need one day. Got a neat brass lintel for my front door

    WHOA NELLY!!!



    Made this saaah-weet find this week. At first I thought it was some sort of altar for some Eastern religion or another. Turns out it's actually an inkwell for calligraphy & such.

    10.5 pounds of beautiful brass that will NOT be headed to the scrapyard. I found the same thing on an auction site, sold for $150! 010204: MAITLAND-SMITH GILDED BRONZE INKWELL, L 20" : Lot 10204

    I tracked it down once back in the 1900's but finding the source again is gonna take a while.
    lots of copies out there in cast iron with a bronze wash or painted.
    will update if I find it again

    Now that is a nice piece. I try not to save such things, although I would sell them rather than scrap them. I might make an exception for this piece, however...

    I put a couple of old brass vases into my Brass sack.

    Now, every time I throw a brass screw or nut into it.

    It goes "Ka Ching"
