Since brass pineapple decor is steadily going up in price and has become highly collectible, I recommend you keep your eyes peeled at thrift stores and flea markets these pieces. And don’t pass up a tarnished or oxidized piece because a little Bar Keepers Friend or Brasso will work wonders on the finish.
