Based
in It
was started by two of divers who, having had over 60 years worth of diving on
various wrecks around the world between them, and having seen a plethora of
brass lamp, plates and other related stuff, thought it would be quite good to
have something as a momento of these ships and having dived on them. So,
we set about making or sourcing various items that we thought would look good
as display pieces, initially for ourselves and a few friends, but then recognised
that there may be others who would quite like to own such items. From
there it was a short step to making them available for a wider audience and
hence Scapabrass.com was born to manufacture, source and supply brass fittings that
would have been specified and supplied to a wide range of famous (and not so
famous) ships. For instance, we have made items that the Imperial
German Navy would have used during the period 1907 – 1916, and can be seen on
German Fleet in scuttled in Scapa Flow Orkney, i.e. SMS Markgraf, Kronprinz
Wilhelm, Konig, Brummer etc and also various other key wrecks around the
world. Utilising Craftsmen and Engineers
who specialise in brasswork, we have been able to accurately re-engineer various
brass items by using original items, original drawings, specifications,
forgings, photographs and other archive research. Please note these items are not mass
produced, but hand made items, made as far as we can in the same manner as
the originals. One change we have made
though, in order to keep up with EU legislation, we are moving to use Lead
Free brass which itself is slightly more expensive. We have scoured a wide range of resources to
bring the items of quality so that now you can “take home” a piece of history
or a more contemporary item of brassware. You may have seen some of our range in various shops and dive centres
in the GB, but here is a wider selection from our product listings. Some of our products you would expect to see, some we think you will
be surprised at. Lamps and lights Door Plates Builders plates Other stuff |
