thick brass letters 2" tall

any ideas what these might have been used on?...two small threaded holes in each one....TIA

 

They don't appear to be brass. Not that helps determine the usage. See if a magnet sticks to them. If not, and if they're relatively lightweight, they could be aluminum.

 

quite heavy,definitely brass...maybe tin coating...old chrome on some????...guess they could have been used...,/.,./.,anywhere?

 

Photos are a bit deceiving. Yes, a lot of uses for those...architectural monograms, names, etc.

 

do they spell anything, or is this just old hardware store stock..

looks like ROYAL MOHAHHOE.....??

 

heres all the letters

 

Anagram anyone.......?

 

They appear to be thin brass shells filled with plaster or concrete. You can see this where the filler is chipped. Doesn’t matter to present owner but if he advertises them I know he won’t want someone to buy thinking they are solid brass.

 

ALOHA, HOLLY TORCH!

 

could vanna figure it out?.....each one has two holes drilled/taped,about 1/16" dia....solid brass

 

Here are all the words I could get out of it, now you arrange them to make a sensible sign.

 

Ya keep writin’ “solid brass” but they aren’t. Lookie here:

1. Thin brass shell
2. Chipped plaster filling

The threaded brass are small threaded pegs inserted in the plaster, possibly soldered to the shell.

 

took one to grinder wheel

 

thinking,were they pins threaded in or actually screwed on from the back,why are some still plated

 

Thanks, yes that proves they are solid brass, I sure was fooled by the pictures!
