THE BRASS TACKS ($85,000 – $95,000)

The saying ‘getting down to the brass tacks’ has several suggested origins.

These include the brass tacks found on fine furniture, Cockney rhyming slang for the term ‘hard facts’, and the brass tacks hammered into a sales counter – to mark precise measuring points.

A less widespread theory involves the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Following Lincoln’s death, the undertaker was asked to design the Presidential coffin – using silver tacks as decoration.

In the mid-1800’s it was popular to decorate coffins – and people would often spell out the deceased’s initials on the casket. Generally, brass tacks were used, rather than silver … (as it was a more economical alternative).

In this case, the term ‘getting down to brass tacks’ referred to getting down to some serious business – the business of death!
