Test it for content: MAGNET sticks = iron, steel plated Magnet does not stick: brass, copper, pot metal, base metal, spelter, bronze, pewter, very rarely silver or gold. SCRATCH TEST: In an inconspicuous place in each piece, make a scratch with a steel knife blade or a metal filePot metal, base metal, spelter, pewter = shiny light grey Brass = bright brassy color Copper - new penny copper color Bronze - brownish color The "pot metal" group were often cast, then plated with bronze to look like expensive bronze castings. Bronze was either cast as bronze or cast and plated with gold for extra expensive work. *Pewter is rare in large pieces because it is very soft, as is copper.
