Brass Metal Eyelets (Grommets)

This item consists of a pair of small, circular metal eyelet components, also commonly referred to as grommets. They are constructed from a non-ferrous metal, appearing to be brass or a brass-plated alloy, given the distinctive muted gold and slightly antiqued yellow-brown coloration. Each eyelet features a smooth, rounded flange that creates a raised circular rim around a central void. The construction is typical of high-quality hardware used for reinforcing holes in textiles, leather, or tarpaulins. Physically, these appear to be standard size (approximately 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch in diameter), though exact measurements are difficult to determine without a scale. The finish exhibits a light, natural patina with some minor surface oxidation and dullness consistent with exposure to air or previous use, rather than a bright, polished manufacturing finish. There are no visible maker's marks, stamped brand names, or serial numbers on the outward-facing surfaces. These components are likely contemporary or mid-late 20th century in age, designed for mass-market industrial or craft applications. The craftsmanship is uniform, indicating a machine-stamped production process with consistent wall thickness and flange symmetry. The condition is overall fair to good, with no structural deformation, though the slight dulling of the metal suggests they may be loose components from a larger assembly or repair kit.
