    Are the silver/white ones actually stainless steel? Try laying one on a grinder. If it throws sparks (even just a little), it's stainless steel.

    Brass is a composition of copper and zinc. The more reddish might be due to a higher percentage of copper.



    My yard pays one brass price, regardless of type.

    (I do something like that, but it's hitting the wrist with the cutoff wheel).
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
