Excerpt from Metal Coloring and Finishing: Methods of Producing Colors on Iron, Steel, Copper, Bronze, Brass and Aluminum Burnishing Metals

The subject of metal finishing and coloring has received but scant attention in mechanical publications; this is rather surprising when we note the inclination of the manufacturers of today to combine this artistic treatment with utility, and add contrast of color to the severe straight-line plainness of our commercial products, to produce more beautiful effects. There is nothing new in metal coloring. Ages ago it was old in Japan, and to the Orient we must really turn for original authority on successful coloring of metals.
