Anyone decided on the correct links this week? Is it Copper Plate or Brass Plate, and in either case what goes with NIckel?

AQ, I stand corrected about "coppers" and "silver" but to extend the fun about what will be Kate's decision - do a Google on this search request!

AND Pauline if you read this, next Saturday remember these lines from Herrick's "Corinna's going a-Maying"!

"Get up, sweet slug-a-bed, and see
The dew bespangling herb and tree!"

Thanks to all the above! Having posted this question in the first place I'm glad to see others are as undecided as I am! I was going to go with Brass Plate and Copper Nickel (ex Chambers) but will have to give it more thought!
Thanks, Strix. You've convinced me.
I'll go for
Copper nickel
Brass plate.
Nickel Brass is in Oxford, but brass nickel is, of course, a well-known colloquialism, as in "not one brass nickel". This is a bit of a conundrum.
