[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 7528, member: 85"]I am going to respectfully disagree. The new ones are brass. If you look at the pintrest page closely, you will see several Bohemian late 19th century with the same ball type prism. Zoom in and you will see that they are not brass. When you find old prisms, many times the wires are often rusted. Brass doesn't rust. Now the cobalt cut to clear may indeed be early 1900s, and the prisms added later. Particulary as there are two style prisms alternating. Which is not common practice. Please keep in mind this is just my opinion. I will be the first to admit I can be wrong.[/QUOTE]
