Are these solid brass, or brass plated steel? Thanks!

I have them but how would you tell??I would guess at brass plated steel ( clever Mr Hurst with the magnet! )

I'm not sure, and I don't know how to tell for sure. If I had to guess, I would say they are solid brass. Sorry not to be more helpful.

They look like brass but I just checked with a magnet and they attract to it so they must be plated steel.

They are metal (brass), and I recently saw one I put on a frame a year or more ago and it still looks as perfect as it did the day I received it.

The chocks are zinc plated steel. I'm unsure about the grade of the steel used. I've used them now several times and they are holding up just fine.

they are not stainless steel, a magnet sticks to the metal. Probably chrome plated steel. Easily replaceable with stainless. Otherwise well made.

Yes. I think they are brass. This is a very well made backpack. My husband, who is not very "gentle", has been using his every work day for 2 years - and it still looks great and no rips or broken zippers!

I don't think they are steel--they are lightweight. No rust. We've had the set for two years and they still look new.

They are steel. On an entirely different note, this is an inferior product and the nylon or plastic strings broke too soon!

These are Brass colored if you purchase from MHS, Inc. Could be different for other sellers. Thank you!

Dale, they are brass colored, so I assume brass. I put these up with. Bistro light strand in July and gave used them intermittently. I have been pleased with the quality. The bulbs are not bright but when there are 30 over a patio it makes a pleasant atmosphere.

Steel. They come with a light oil to protect them from rust. Just wash them with dish soap, rinse with water, towel dry, then prime and paint them. Mine came out great and they're pretty sturdy, depending on how you attach them. Mine are bolted to the frame with (2) 3/8" bolts on each fender. Holds up VERY well.

I think they will rust if used inside or out I think they are chrome plated steel. I still would take them over non-metal. Probably as good as you can get. Very nice looking.

I would say it's brass. They also have a chrome version, but the brass better matched my original fixture and the wood trim.

It is tin plated steel. Someone in an early post had complained that they had rusted on them. This has not been a problem for me. Just make sure to hand dry the rings after washing. Hope this helps.

They are metal. Not heavy duty but good enough for normal household use. Good buy for the $$.

No, they are not stainless steel - they are plated. Be sure to dry thoroughly because the plating has oxidized and started to come off on my set.

Both pieces are chrome plated metal. Not Plastic. The are good quality. Leonard.
