Co. 1 (CH PE-9A) x 2. Both VF. Two pieces that together formed Lot 1854 of the Roy Hughes sale (Hoare sale 32, Feb. 1995). One piece was noted in that sale as "appears to be copper", but despite a heavily copper colouration, XRF analysis show it to be more than 67% copper and 32% zinc and unambiguously brass--another cautionary tale of a visual assessment of alloy. 2 Pcs.

This is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
