Al;loy ones failing is more common, but brass can let go, more prone to it if the spokes were too short.

I've had a few fail because of the salt on the road I think - seems that unless you can wash the bike down every evening it really gets attacked...

Wow how can you see the window sill from there! The nipple is sitting on a 'wheelpro' type truing stand ๐Ÿ˜‰

Spokes are the correct length and the wheel hasnt seen salt!
