I test everything. STFU. Call me if you have questions. 😠

Child’s mini brass cymbal – with wooden handle: 274 ppm Lead.

Modern toys are regulated and required to be under 90 ppm lead in the paint or coating when tested with an XRF instrument (90 ppm in the coating or 100 ppm in the substrate). Year of manufacture and maker of this toy are unknown.

Tested in 2012 with an XRF instrument.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for reading and for sharing my posts.
