You're right, of course. Except for at home where I've had nicely lacquered barometers, compasses, clocks staying bright for years. But at sea they need constant polishing. If you're a martinet to your crew that could work. (On a destroyer, the lowliest seaman kept the binnacle polished daily.) Otherwise, a green patina is lovely.

Trying to coat quality brass or bronze doesn’t work…  I’d strongly advise against it.Gordon Lacowww.gordonlaco.com> On Oct 26, 2021, at 5:54 PM, Greg via Public-List <public-list at lists.alberg30.org> wrote:> > Hi Folks,I'm cleaning paint off my cabin mounted red n green lights.
