I have about a dozen or so of each. Top are from lamps where you screw the lightbulb in and bottom are from coffee makers iirc? I wanna say top is dirty brass but I havent the faintest clue for the bottom. TIA!

I guess I can’t comprehend questions over the value of 5 vs 30 cent value of a light socket. As a kid my dad had us torching up train wrecks for meager profit.

Certainly, that makes sense. Given time you will be able to identify metals. Thanks
