Getting paint off old brass

I am remodeling my 100 yr old victorian home and many of the brass hinges, fixtures have been painted many times. I am particularly looking to refurbish some door/buzzer what can I use to take paint off.

Any paint solvent ought to do this: turpentine ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] , mineral spirits ⇦this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] , paint thinner. etc. Hopefully you will not need a methylene chloride stripper because the fumes are very dangerous to your health.
