nice! are they brass?

Something about MidTN’s set of knuckles that looks more vintage. Are they even brass? Coopercat, yours looks more common like what dudes have had for the past 40-50 years I’m guessing.

I had a pair similar to that when I was young. Mine were aluminum.

No, made of steel or iron I think.

i done a little looking around and i think mine arn't old. I found some just like mine on the web for about 40 to 45 dollars.

I had some guys from a CW relic site say that mine could be CW or late 1800's.

I kinda wanted to let you do your research for a bit, but I think yours are quite old. I’m not sure but my gut says they are.

i think i seen some like yours that dated around 1861. They started making them here at about the beginning of the civil war, so says the web.
