<p>[QUOTE="Briboy07, post: 2038297, member: 70431"]I have a question about these as well. I find the bright yellow ones that some call "Yellow jackets" which they say are brass.

My question would be if they have become truly brass, would they lose their color if dunked in cleaner or if one used brasso cleaner? </p><p>As I found quite a few very neat looking yellow ones I decided to experiment on two of them with jewelry cleaner.</p><p>They both went back to a nice copper look losing their beautiful yellow color (doh).
