    Beautiful brassware. My Mum used to have old windows and doors with brass fittings and she was very proud of her sparkling clean windows! Lovely memory. thanks for the reminder!

    You are right, Royal Butler! Brasso is simply the best brass polishing product. No muss, no fuss. Keep the tin securely covered and the wadding lasts for about a year without losing strength. I have used it for decades for indoor use as you demonstrate, and outdoors on front door hardware, and in my barn on the brass hardware and my saddlery. Economical and efficient. No home or farm should be without it! I wish I owned the company.

    Thank you, Sir Grant. The Royal Dachshunds were very helpful, as usual, in a rather casual manner. Actually, have a 160 year old, 1,000 pound bronze church bell to clean. Hmm. Brass being an alloy of copper and zinc, and bronze being of copper and tin. I will try a small test of "Brasso", but for bronze, I have a kitchen recipe to test, consisting of one part regular baking flour, and two parts of salt and vinegar. Just mix, wipe on, wait for awhile, and rinse with water. Viola? I'll let the Royal Dachshunds know how it goes, though I rather suspect that they may not be entirely interested in our human antics, and may perhaps prefer if we just polished their tummies in the warm sunshine.

I gave away all my brass items as I couldn't believe the hard work and black mess I made cleaning it all but I still have two 16 in brass bells on the mantle which I cleaned and then I lacquered them so now I don't have to cry over it anymore.

    Just a suggestion: could you do a segment on "Scottish clothes"? I mean the kilt and the proper way to accessorize it? Female. I have inherited a real Cameron kilt from my mother. Are they for daytime too or only evening events. Do you have to wear a white blouse and black velvet vest? What length should they be? Thank you...I miss Max, my childhood Dachsund when I see yours. Very beautiful. How do you get old wax off the candle holder? Just hot water?

    I couldn't agree more, I still use the liquid stuff, which I assume contains the same cleaning ingredients as the wadding? I've never found a product that comes close to achieving the results that Brasso does, though I have to say "it does whiff a bit!". Good video, keep 'em coming.

    You'll think it mad but you can easily verify it with a quick search online; Tomato Ketchup. Rub it on, as you would brasso, let it rest for a minute or so and rinse it off and dry/buff. Heavier marking may take a few goes but, i promise, it does wonders for brass due to the natural acidity.

Could you perhaps make a video on HOW to know if a candle stick is truly whut the seller tels you ? There are many reproductions out there ! The waigth is not always a clue cus back in the days they took away alot of the waigth to get more custermors so a ligth waigth candlestick can eacy be 100 years old without having the heavy waigth on them. There are a few clues but still it would be so much ❤ if you could make a video on how not yo get cheatet on your local " flee market "🙏 pretty please ❤
