Brass is quite a soft alloy relative to materials in modern use, meaning that scratches, dents etc will occur quite easily, and the amount of maintenance required to keep it in good condition is again, excessive compared to modern materials.
Finally, the colour of brass fades fairly quickly as it reacts with the air, so ends up looking quite aged quite quickly.
Btw, it’s to get ‘ahead of the curve’ rather than curb. 🙂
