    Help me find a purpose for these brass spacers

    Alright hive mind. I've been working on cleaning out my hoarder hole all weekend. I've a lot to do, but I stumbled on these brass spacers I've had for like a decade now. We used these at my old job on dual handheld encoders. Only thing is the handheld came with more than we needed to make them level, so my employer whom didn't have a recycling program t the time told us to throw these away, dozens of them at a time. I thought I could find a cool use for them, so I collected what I thought was a reasonable amount. I have 36 of these brass pieces today, and I'm still scratching my arse as fat as what to do with em.

    Could practice patina methods. Could make challenge coins, but that's out of my league as I do t have an engraver. Could solder them all together into a trophy and hold a pgp tourney. I could put them in the scrap pile...

    What do you think hive mind? Any brass wizards think these would help builds? I'd send them your way if so.

      Polish them, lay them out in a frame, pour epoxy resin to make a distinctive centerpiece.

          They are just shy of 1.278" OD x 0.374" ID x 0.196" thick.
