We were at Goodwill looking at stuff to make Hallowe'en costumes from yesterday. I found a brass tray with a Russian maker's mark. I can't read it, everything is in Cyrillic.
Does anyone here have any knowledge about Russian made brass? It's a nice tray, about 12" across, no dings or scratches. Paid $1.99.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

This article has some info on Russian brass. How about a picture? You could always send a pciture to Christys Auctions in NYC . They will look at it and let you know if its something rare. I've done this before with a piece of copper I had. Try looking on ebay also. |

WOW!!! Great find!!!!
Some Russian brass is very expensive. I would NOT be in a hurry to sell your tray. I have heard SOME Russian brass is very valuable. |
