I was going by one of my areas dumpsters and found a large [ about 20" x 3' ] HVAC switch box .
Did a little diving , & it followed me home & got dismantled .
Always looking to add to the hardware collection - do a lot build , repair / and hardware is getting way too costly .
Assumed I would get some brass , well after taking apart the contacts knife blade had a slight yellow & a little dark color .
Scratched with a knife & see a very white / silver color .
I'm thinking a high silver content alloy ?
Any others recycled these ?
