Is there a way to quickly - like overnight - tarnish brass? Looking for an
old look, but the brass I have is too shiny. TIA.

I would try using water or steam.

I've heard of quickly tarnishing copper roofs with horse pee.

What is the application? e.g. what items are made of brass?

If there is a stained glass supply shop somewhere nearby, drop in there
and ask about "patina." They sell bottles of solutions do exactly what
you want. If you have an extra piece of the brass, bring it with and
see if they will test it out for you. Some of them make it real dark
real fast.
