I was referred to the Brass Buff by a close friend.  I had several antique brass pieces that needed restoration and others that needed polishing or waxing.  This seems to be the "go to" place if you need anything that has to do with brass.  The store is loaded with every imaginable brass object, many of which are for sale.  I was cordially greeted by Mel (the owner) whose love for his craft was apparent.  He was knowledgeable about the objects I had brought, which was very reassuring.  I was very pleased with  his work and would highly recommend him.

I was certain that Mel would give my Grandmother's old fireplace set the care befitting of its age.  My only other option was the scrap yard.  So, I thank you Mel for understanding and loving old things.  Your shop is a treasure trove.  Together we hope that future generations will appreciate these wonderful things.

Response from Brass Buff Antiques
"The job was to reattach the spout, remove multiple black spots and polish a teapot that had been left on the stove too long. The price was agreed to before work was done with no problem. She did not like the solder job but there was no complaint about the polishing. A solder bead was built up around the spout so it would not come off if left on the stove too long. Customer complained about the bead. I removed the spout at her request and at no additional charge."

I find Mel to be very pleasant and honest. I trust his judgment, expertise, and knowledge regarding brass and copper. I have been a repeat customer, and will be returning again with some more brass items that need cleaning.
His shop is full of {mostly} brass and copper items from all over the world. He takes pleasure in sharing his wares with curious customers.
Mel's turn-around is nothing short of amazing! If he says the work will be done is 2 to 3 days, it will be done in 2-3 days.
If you need to schedule an appointment, call him, he is very accommodating to your schedule, since his shop does not have 'regular' 9-5 business hours.
Call him; you will not regret having him polish your metals. You may even find a special treasure to buy in his floor-to-ceiling filled shop.

He quickly made an appointment for a personalized visit and was very courteous and professional in his assessment and manner. We were pleasantly surprised at the affordability of the price quote and the quality of the work was outstanding!!! We highly recommend his services.
