Welcome to my Etsy shop! Here you will find all kinds of wonderful brass stampings and many one of a kind items and closeouts from my website www.fancifulsinc.com.

I try to ship daily Mon-Fri (I do not ship on Saturdays), and I do my best to ship orders within 2 days after you place it, but it depends on the time of day or the day of the week that I get your order. Orders placed over the weekend or during holidays when there is no mail service may take longer to process. *Please make a note if you are in hurry and need faster processing.*

I offer the option to purchase insurance on your orders.

*Some items come with or without a loop (or hole) for hanging, please look carefully at the pictures and descriptions.

*I may have larger quantities of some items in my warehouse. If you need more than what I have listed, please contact me.

*Many items are still available, but some are from manufacturers that are no longer in business.

*Quantity discounts may also be available on some items, convo me if you are interested in a particular item.

*Most of the products are raw brass, but some may be plated or painted, objects that have been left over some project I was working on, or just playing around with some new technique! Any variations on raw brass will be stated in the item description.

*Most of the items have been manufactured here in the USA (If they are not made in the USA it will be stated on the item's description).

*About RAW brass:
*Raw brass can vary in color from golden yellow to pinkish to coppery red. These colors can vary from batch to batch when I get new stock in.
Some pieces may have a two tone color effect due to the annealing process of brass.
Left and right facing items may not match in color.

*Raw brass may have scratches, dings, spots or stains.

*Raw brass pieces may have an oily residue on them left from the manufacturing process. You can wash them with dish detergent or clean them with alcohol or a high quality brass polish (Hagerty 100 is a good one, you can find it online). Sometimes toothpaste will clean them up.

*Raw brass will tarnish over time. If you want to keep it from tarnishing, clean it well and coat with a clear finish, you can use a spray or brush on poly varnish, or clear nail polish works in a pinch!

*Raw brass my be painted, soldered, patina-ed, enameled and is easily drilled with a Dremel or similar high speed type drill.
