Part 2/7:
Among the objects is a chunk of brass featuring bizarre marks etched onto its surface. The collector describes it simply as a "brass plate" with unfamiliar symbols or patterns, its precise significance unclear. These markings could be the result of manufacturing marks, experimental etchings, or perhaps some form of identifier used during industrial work or artistic modification.
A Collapsed Brass Cylinder with a Bloomed Surface
One of the most intriguing pieces is a brass cylinder that appears to have "bloomed" outward, a process typically associated with metal deformation or corrosion. The collector notes that it was once a complete cylinder but then split apart or warped, causing it to spread out in a star-like or flower-like shape.
