Nickel-plated brass horn
MFA# 1996.114

Description

A thin layer of nickel deposited on the surface of another metal. Nickel is usually electroplated from a salt solution containing a nickel salt, such as nickel nickel acetate, nickel ammonium chloride, nickel carbonate, nickel nitrate or nickel sulfate. Nickel plate provides corrosion resistance. It was commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Bucher 1996).
