I havw recently come into possetion of a 1948 Mills Hightop (5 cent) looking in the back I noticed a significant amount of the mechinism appears to be made out of copper or brass colored metal. I have not seen others like this most others are all Iron steel and sheet steel ( ie the drums )
Any one know about this ?
is it a bad re-pro ? (It looks original )
the modle year is post war so I suppose brass and copper were more available but the softness of mwtal is a bit confusing.
Then again I may be wrong it may be the "petina" of hat ever metal it is.
Thanks
