Finish Problem

Many of the solid brass hooks that we receive have what appear to be small tarnish spots. The tarnish color of the various lots have different degrees of darkness, with the majority requiring examination to see the problem. Our understanding is that after the hooks are polished, lacquer is applied and the hooks are tumbled until dry. We suspect that the hooks dry in a tangled clump and have to be broken apart after they dry and that it is this contact area that is showing a different color due to a different thickness of lacquer finish and/or these contact areas are starting to tarnish as a result of not being coated. Over time the lacquer coating will wear away and the entire hook will tarnish. This process will progress more rapidly in an exterior environment.
