K & S Precision Metals 8244 Brass Strip, 0.032" Thick x 2" Wide x 12" Long, 1 Piece, Made in The USA

I restore antique clocks, and I'm confident that I'll be able to fabricate the parts I need with this material. Please keep in mind that this is raw brass sheet, which will react to even slightly acidic materials (such as skin oils) unless it is protected with a laquer coating. My brass sheet arrived with at least a dozen dark fingerprints etched into it (even on areas protected by protective packaging), necessitating a lot of extra (careful) cleaning just to get slightly less noticeable fingerprints all over the sheet. Brasso or 0000 fine steel wool, I'm sure, will remove the fingerprint marks eventually. For my purposes, scratched brass parts are simply not an option. I guess I wasn't expecting to have to spend so much time buffing out someone else's greasy pepperoni finger funk from my purchase. 5 stars on everything else.
