Nope, doesn't say anything about electro brass.

So, which object in the photo is which?
No just that Cats Rule!
They don't. I have to shush the buggers away. They attract kids and parents to play under my scaffold.
You are a proper Nutjob.

Which photo?
The one with the hinge and 3 screws. What kind of platings are they?

I think the hinge is zinc plated because the colour is not uniform. I can't tell about the screws.

Have i got this right?
It's screws for a hinge? Is it being fitted outdoors in Iceland or somewhere ?

You're forgetting the Nutjob factor.
A bit of luck, exact match received. 4.2 x 25 on the dot. Compared to ZYP (the 2 outer screws shown in the hinge photo), the new electro brass is uniform and has no hint of green in it. The old screw is greenish could be because of aging - although I can't see how since it was protected in wood and under paint.
Why Not Indeed is the winner of the thread. Uniformity of colouration can be used for identifying the plating. Brass is strongly uniform. Zinc has a spectrum of colours.
