Adorable animal families that will make you aww. Antique brass is a term used to describe a finish that may appear on any metal item, most often a decorative household item. Brass is actually an alloy, or combination, of metals. Solid brass is 67% copper and 33% zinc. The natural finish of polished brass is shiny.
The brass refers to officers, and it's shorthand for the older phrase the brass hats.. From the OED: brass hat n. [so called from the gilt insignia on an officer's cap] colloq. (orig.Mil. slang) a high-ranking officer in the armed forces, originally in the British army; cf. tin hat n. 1b.n books by many different authors I encountered phrases like this: He curses the brass for not caring whether he lives or dies. From context, it seemed to me that it meant high-rank officers, about the rank of general. But sometimes it seems to mean lower (than general) rank commissioned officers, too.
