Most likely Die cast zinc or cast alum. But if they are brass you should not jet knocked down to dirty brass as long as no other metal attached.

Get a file and marr it a little. If it is yellow underneith, its brass.

My best investment scrapping yet is the angle grinder. That would help you out
If they are brass you should consider re-selling rather than scraping them. Most likely they are not brass so when you hit it with a file do it somewhere not easily seen. Mike.

if its magnet clean and there are not any other metals attached its clean brass
