Bronze or brass?
The two can look alike. Bronze tends to be darker, more brownish or reddish, while brass is usually brighter yellow. Their compositions differ, and so can their assessment. Only physical inspection or testing can settle doubtful cases, so photographs are a starting point rather than a final answer.
Information to share before a valuation
- Clear photographs of several representative pieces.
- Estimated total weight.
- Whether the material is sorted or mixed with other metals.
- Any markings, part numbers or origin details.
- Whether steel housings or other parts are attached.
Practical considerations
Heavy cast pieces and pieces attached to machinery are more complicated to remove and transport than loose fittings. If an item is part of equipment, do not force it apart; tell us what it is and we can discuss the best way to handle it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bronze valued the same as brass?
They are different alloys and are assessed separately.
Can you tell if my metal is bronze from a photo?
A photo helps, but confirmation may need physical inspection.
Do you buy bronze bearings and bushings?
They can be discussed. Send photographs and quantities.
Should I clean the parts?
Light cleaning is fine, but there is no need to polish them.
What if my bronze is attached to a steel part?
Mention it in your enquiry; it may be assessed as a mixed item.
