How can you tell an antique brass candlestick?

Antique brass candleholders were often seamed; two pieces soldered together over an open flame. Look at the finish. Turn the brass candleholder upside down and check for a well-finished underside, something similar to the finish on the entire candleholder.

Many people have brass around: ornaments, key rings, old brass instruments, candle holders, hardware, or even shell casings can be worth money. If you’re looking to unload some brass, you have a couple options: selling or pawning.Furthermore, how do you clean brass candlesticks? Or, rub a little plain yogurt over the tarnished brass with your fingers, allow it to dry and buff it with a clean cloth. Another tarnish-cleaning option is to cut a lemon in half, sprinkle salt on the open fruit and rub the lemon over the candlestick to remove the tarnished spots. Thereof, can you paint brass candlesticks? As I always say with spray painting, take your time. Multiple thin coats will give you a much better look than one thick coat. While your paint dries, polish the other parts of your brass candlesticks. I prefer brass to be as clean and shiny as possible.How do you know if it is brass?Keep in mind that while brass is magnetic, it is very slight. If you take a very heavy duty magnet and hold it close to a brass object, chances are the object will attract to the magnet. If your magnet is strong enough, you’ll at least be able to tell if your item is brass or not.
