This new publication begins with histories of the processing of copper and brass and then expands to the well established avocation of collecting the historical treasures formed of these materials. The balance of the work consists of superb, full-color illustrations of “real” antiques formed of these materials, as well as a detailed index listing values for nearly every item. All manner of kettles, pots & pans, stills, weathervanes, lamps, vases, trays and more are shown in exquisite full color detail.
