brass grows a very nice patina in weathering exposure. You have to have salts and build up of sludge to make brass corrode, and then you can't even tell that it corroded because the normal mode is dealloying. This fishing reel is 130 years old - where it was corroding is where mildewed silk line was rotting on it.
