I noted the same when I rebuilt my fuel system. The float is brass, with soldered fillet for the pivot ring, and the closure tang. The needle and seat are made of stainless and brass, and are in perfect shape, even though they are +50 years old. I think the o-ring on the float bowl seat is original, but if not, it is very old. Still in good shape.
The throttle shaft is brass bushed, the metal line has rubber compression fittings, and a tiny shut off valve with glass sediment bowl, all in perfect shape, just needs cleaning.
