Whenever I see something mechanical made of bronze or something it always looks like a real waste. New finishes and coatings look pretty good and composites are strong and corrosion resistant, and steel is cheaper. Not everything can be replaced but some can.

You should try a copper pan. They are great! Copper is also a very effective conductor of heat.
