Brass is not a tool metal - it's too soft to make a pickaxe or a sword out of it. So the game does not allow you to pour it into tool molds. Items like "brass pickaxe head" and such do not even exist.

It's an ornamental metal, prized for its similarity to gold and the ease with which you can work it into filligrane structures. So it is used for making jewellery, jugs and chalices, musical instruments, furniture ornamentation, and the like. Additionally, it is very resistant to corrosion, and brushed/polished brass has very low friction. And so it was traditionally used in mechanical engineering. Stuff like steam engines, where you had to have hot metal parts moving against each other smoothly. Or even electrical sockets and connectors.

In Vintage Story, you can use brass to make decorative torch holders, where you can place torches that will never go out. You can also make lanterns, or large metal building blocks (but those are very expensive).

Brass is sturdier than copper, and the only reason you can't make tools out of it in the game despite being able to do so with copper, is because the devs did not implement it.

Brass tools have no history, but they could be used and would be better than copper tools. I just wanted to make that clear, even if the post just originated because the OP confused bronze with brass.
