It always gets tarnished.

Has anyone bought a nice fancy brass door handle that does not tarnish?
If so, what kind is it?

Many thanks.

Contact the co that made it, if its the process that treats brass at
the molecular level it shouldnt tarnish, ask them to send you a new
one and they should give you 30 days for your unit to be returned.

Like that was helpful...contact the company...The question was "Has anyone

If so, what kind is it?" Not how to conduct yourself on the phone
begging for a different one and telling them above all after owning the
product for 4 years they give 30 days for the unit to be returned...
sigh... so to answer the OP question... Yes I have a very good brass door
handle...however, the pricy ones are called 'Stainless brass" seen here
http://www.handlesbydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=33_98 ...the handles
made by Gardner& Scardifield Ltd which I presently own and have not
tarnished ..they are pricy but worth it... Jim


Thank you Jim, for your reply.

I would love to own a doorknob that does not tarnish, so this gives me
something to go on.

I do have a brass door kick plate, and it has been like new since I
purchased it six years ago.
