Silver plated copper

I know someone who went around yard sale (garage sales in NZ) buying all that silver plated stuff.
He got $4 a Kg....

The scrapdealer knew what it is, probably not the first time he had seen it too.
They classed as 'brass'.

I noticed its all stamped with [epns] , 'Electro Plated Nickel Silver'.



I gave all the epns I had put aside to a guy who uses a gas torch and silver solder to make 'Metal birds' with them.
They look really great, he paints them black with spray paint.

Imagine the feet made from forks and the bills made from spoons.
Imagine a pelican or stork for the best shape profile.
