Brass is not magnetic and there's no such thing as magnetic brass so if you have something that you think is brass and it's sticking to a magnet you likely have steel or tin that is brass coated or something that was made with both steel and brass together.

If it sticks it isn't brass at all or pure brass. You could have what is brass breakage if you're wanting to sell the brass item for scrap metal.
