About the Book
~
"This is a complete guide to collecting copper and brass, beginning with the composition and properties and how it is treated for manufacture. It includes descriptions of brass, bronze, ormulu, pinchbeck, Muntz's metal, gunmetal and bell metal, and how these are made into useful articles or ornaments.
Copper and brass have been used during many centuries all over the world, and this book includes products in the metals from Europe, India and the Orient, and Africa.
There are notes on repairs and preservation, and hints on colelcting and display. The book describes a list ranging alphabetically from ale and spirit measures to wax jacks and weights and measures; it also discusses such things as aquamaniles, buttons, ormulu mounts and mortars, armory and much else."
