Best way to keep brass from tarnishing is to plate it with 24K gold. Looks even better than polished and surprisingly inexpensive.

Beautifull lights, I don't have any brass ones but I have brass oil lamps and they're a bugger to polish. When I got them they were black, I didn't realise one of them was brass at first it was so bad, it had been left in a cold damp barn for 30 years. Spent several days polishing with brasso but the results were worth it. I'm going to have to find out how to post pictures
Great picture essexman, I'm going to look for one of those on eBay, it would complement my miners safety lamp nicely.
Funny you should say that, I've not seen any turn up on the bay for a bit. If you find one and buy it drop me a PM and I'll send you the details of the LED drop in I used to mod it.
The switch on these is a little odd. They have a spring fitted, press down to make contact, then you have to screw the knob round whilst in the on position to lock it on.
Thankyou. So the one one eBay had the button and spring missing, I could probably have made a replacement but just incase I didn't buy it, I'll wait for the next one.
How much did you pay for yours? The one I was watching was £26.99, seems a bit expensive but for all I know they could be worth that much.
Bribo, those are beautiful lights. Hand made by yourself?
Can we have more details please?
They remind me of the Lummi Wee in design, but its hard to see the scale properly.
I'll have to bribe you for one. :tinfoil:
*SNIP!*
