Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and has been in use for thousands of years. It retains many of the good properties of copper, whilst being cheaper than that.

Other than steel, it is probably the next most common alloy. It is readily re-cyclable. It has valuable anti-bacterial properties.

As far as the retail value of brass, that depends upon the purity of the sample, and the local demand.
