Ok, it's 2:00am and I'm up and damn if I'm not sitting here letting this bug the crap outa me. What the hell, I'm 0 for 7 anyway. The only things bronze I can remember were Achille's armor and big fancy doors, so I'm guessing a doorhandle. The original condition picture doesn't show denting or scratching so it doesn't seem to come in contact with other hard objects but to get that dirty it has been displayed perhaps outside or dirtied up by hands, especially around the lips at the top and bottom . However the edges don't appear smooth enough to accomondate hands and the ribbing would have to simply be decorational as opposed to functional if door handle was in the ball park. What have I got to lose, going 0 for 8? Quote:

Yup, they are laser cut to size (for rolling), then the grooves are machined in, then they are rolled, then they are cut to size. I then put that bad ass finish on them and BINGO!!
