<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 605206, member: 3235&quot;]As to the brass - bronze difference. . . the primary material in both is copper.&nbsp; Copper is cut with zinc (about 5%) for bass giving a bright appearance.&nbsp; Copper is cut with nickle (also 5% give or take) for bronze, giving a darker rich color, desired in statue casting. Most clocks are going to be in the brass category. Other metals are cut into the mix for different applications to give strength . . you don&#039;t want a clock case to be soft and pliable.&nbsp; There are high end French clock cases that have two different types of brass . . half lighter toned pieces - half darker toned pieces, for a two-tone effect. . . these are stunning ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
