Here you will find true vintage items we've located on our buying trips and through industry resources. Gingerbread brass is brass that was never plated but thrown back in cellars, workshops and old warehouses, all but abandoned. Over time, because of darkness, humidity, machine oil and improper storage, it's turned this lovely dark color beloved by altered artists and jewelry makers alike. We have limited amounts of these items, so be sure to grab the things you like when you see them!
