<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 9144, member: 59&quot;]I don&#039;t think they would have applied silver plating over brass. The base metal is often called &quot;white metal&quot; or nickel silver (a non-silver alloy) and was used because it wouldn&#039;t be quite as obvious when the plating started to wear off. Copper is a much better plating base.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, 20th century makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s really no &quot;scrap value&quot; (although there are reports that if you have enough weight and a refiner who&#039;s willing, you can get a few bucks out of a big enough lot.) If it were mine I would probably put a really big bunch of flowers in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
