    Oh lord, anywhere I could. We’d wear bonkers stuff to go shopping up west!

    That settles it then - an eye witness! Thank you! Might I ask, on what occasions did you wear them?

    I think it’s not just about the mix, but how it was mixed and made. And no one quite knows the secret.

    Also, pinchbeck looks more like gold. It has a similar depth of colour and sheen, which brass doesn't have.

    I own both pinchbeck and brass stuff. Pinchbeck is much lighter, much brighter, and indeed, doesn’t smell. It’s much finer and more...
