<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 400451, member: 5833"]We have others who know about this aspect but can say that magnets only stick to ferrous metals, ones that have iron in them. Neither spelter, bronze nor brass contain iron, to the best of my feeble knowledge. They do all contain some amount of copper; the verdigris here & there on your piece indicates it also includes copper. Yours is certainly more gold colored than we're seeing on some of the others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
