Picked up a Chase Copper and Brass Company Tray and Mugs
I was browsing Facebook Marketplace and stumbled across this piece of art. I'm always a sucker for copper, so I made them an offer and headed out to pick it up. It wasn't until I got it home and looked into it that I found out it was from the 1930s! The tarnish is pretty rough, so I picked up some Wright's Copper Cream and am planning to clean it up tomorrow so it can develop a more even patina on its own. I'm hoping to end up with something like the patina on my cocktail shaker in the third picture, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.
