Descripción

An alloy of about five parts of copper with one of zinc that is used as imitation gold. It is similar to brass but contains more copper. It was invented by a London watchmaker named Christopher Pinchbeck, ca. 1740. Pinchbeck was often used in clock making and the production of inexpensive jewelry and snuffboxes, particularly by craftsmen in London.
