It’s a good weight probably brass.
I put a touch of cleaner so I could try to make out the letters.
I will weigh it when I get home.I received an answer from the legal dept at Velcro.
Thank you for your e-mail concerning your marketplace auction. It was reported due to your improper use of our VELCRO® trademark. International trademark laws require an owner of a mark to strictly control its use. Please note that our trademark VELCRO® may be used only to identify genuine VELCRO® brand hook and loop fasteners. Furthermore, products that incorporate VELCRO® brand fasteners are not entitled to use the mark to identify the product itself. For example, patches that use VELCRO® brand fasteners are not “VELCRO Patches” – rather they are “patches with VELCRO® brand fasteners.” As we do not have any way of confirming whether the fasteners used in your offered products are genuine VELCRO® brand fasteners, we must request that you remove all use of the VELCRO® mark from your auction listings.
If you do not want your auctions to be removed in the future, please remove the VELCRO® mark from your auction listing, and instead use the functional terms: fasteners, hook and loop fasteners or touch fastener to refer to the type of closure or fastener in your product.
For further information, please visit our About Me Vero page at http://vero.ebay.com/vero/velcro under “Velcro Companies.”
Please note that we do not single out any one auction or seller. We scan marketplaces worldwide on a daily basis for infringing uses of the VELCRO® trademark, and file complaints against those auctions as they come up in our scans. Also note, that as a matter of policy, we will not withdraw complaints against auctions once filed.
Thank you.

Velcro Group CorporationI’ve had some luck on Facebook market place. I also like their feature where you can add all the Facebook yard sale groups to your original post at the time of listing. That really widens my horizon. I am a member of several yard sale groups as I’m in the Boston market.
I have sold several pieces of framed art framed posters etc, photo equipment, some lamps. and other items. It’s always nice when it works out saves me shipping and fees. I only do cash.
I used to sell a lot on craigslist but have found it to be more difficult with so many spammers so now Im focusing on eBay and Facebook. I’ve also had no luck with offer up though I know someone who sells a lot there as well.
