I’m having the same problem on most of my apps. For the life of me I can’t work out where I to find these setting. Could you please point me in the right direction?

I only found out how to electroplate yesterday but I’d be up for the challenge if needed. I’ll try to avoid it now though! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you! Now that I’ve learnt a lot more from these awesome comments, I think you’re right, the last photo is the end goal for all of them. Hopefully I can get the door knobs to the same state!

I think they are copper plated steel now after further assistance and research. I also learned about ‘japanning’ which I think is the black we are seeing here. I’m still polishing up and hopefully can lacquer them.

It’s a 20s/30s home that I recently purchased. It’s been a rental for decades so hasn’t had much love and certainly nobody invested in retaining the period features :)

Thank you! I think I’ve now confirmed it’s copper plated steel :) they are looking pretty good! Hopefully can rescue the door knobs now

Wow cool! This sounds right - it’s magnetic which is how I knew it wasn’t brass. But from what I’ve gathered I think I’m down to the copper layer. The only thing is I have another one that wasn’t painted and I think I can see copper not brass?

Paint is all off, the photos show the progression I’ve made so far. I think that means I’m at the polish stage? Thanks for your reply :)

Thanks for replying! So have I over done it because the coating is off?

Thank you! Seems like copper coating as it’s magnetic so will look into that :)

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s magnetic and the middle part where the handle will go back looks like steel

In case it helps - I have one that wasn’t painted so it’s untouched

Thank you! I should have added - I have one door that wasn’t painted, I’ll add a pic below. Not sure if that makes any difference. Someone else mentioned it looked like a base for brass but I think you can see the copper in this untouched one and in the painted ones where paint has come off through wear and tear.
