<p>There are a variety of ways to add a patina to brass hardware. Vinegar is one way. Just wash the parts in vinegar and let dry.</p>

Jens, try a mild solution of gun blueing, the stuff you get known as cold blueing. I have used it before to age screws and other metal whe restoring fixtures such as replacement knobs and hinges on old cabinets. I have used the hot bluing salts to make black colored hinges and cabinet hardware as well but hot bluing might be a little much on your brass but using the cold bluing process it is almost like painting and you can control is effect by buffing it off as it cures.
