Photo of the relay. My assessment. Remove plastic covering. Take out solenoid and metal. Then submit as Connectors. Nope. Not for resale. Going to scrap.
I figure this is the most efficient and profitable method.
Here to learn like everybody else.

I see plastic, steel, copper and brass for sure. Then, unless the color is off, you've got gold pins and whatever material the contacts are made of, which can be silver or contain some.

The clear plastic should pop off fairly easily. The copper windings should slide off a steel post, possibly after bending some other steel, then you could unwind the copper off any plastic. Contacts might be able to be cut/pulled off here otherwise... Everything else is probably embedded in the black plastic, may require percussive persuasion to free.

Those are definitely worth complete disassembly. Plastic pops off. Entire pin and blades and contact gold plated. Contact soft silver. Blades held together with slender screws that your sidecutter pliers will easily snip, then blades and contacts are loose and free. Copper coil slides off post easily once the plastic top is snipped. Note: not all relays have the gold plating. Some are standard and have hardened silver contacts.
