nonce-wd. [f. Gr. χαλκός brass + -LOGUE: cf. astrologue, theologue, etc.] A student of brasses.
1861. Sat. Rev., 22 June, 647. A zealous and, at the same time, rational student of brasses—the fashion of the day might almost tempt us to say a chalcologue, or perhaps more accurately still, a chalcotribe.
