Nova Scotia Brass Piece - Co. 343. Br. 891.

CH NS-14A2. 6.15g. XRF: 93.948% Cu, 5.708% Zn, 0.260% Pb, 0.084% Ag. VG+ This piece has a far brassier appearance than the preceding piece – but also a perceptibly higher copper content! Brassy, but frankly not brass. Whether an incontrovertibly brass "Co. 344" exists, or whether the catalogued piece is the result of visual misassessment of alloy merits further study. Ex:Henderson.

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
