Seek Small Brass Decorative Metal Stampings
By Craig Smith

Hi Folks,  Do you have any idea of where I can buy small brass
decorations like these in the photo [link below]?  These are from
a mid-to-late 1800s clock.  They appear to be stamped out of thin brass
sheet (not cast).  I need them for a restoration project I'm planning.
I can buy some of the simple shapes (filigree flowers, fans, etc.) but
I'd like to find some of the more complicated shapes like the ones with
red arrows.

I suppose I can make some molds and cast a few in urethane and then
paint them, but I'd rather buy some real ones.  Although I've used
gilding powders, brass/gold leaf, and metallic spray paints, they don't
really look like metal!  Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Craig Smith
