    Would white brass ever show reddish when hit with a file? I found a piece of a shower curtain rod that I first thought was stainless but when I filed a spot it looked pinkish so I tossed it in my brass pile. I don't have a way to do a spark test currently.

    Could be brass that is plated with something, if a mag doesn't stick I would guess it is brass.

    Thanks, yes it was non-magnetic. A little research on google made me think it could have been chrome plated brass or copper but I'm still new to things like this so its nice to get the feedback.
