תני רב פפא בריה דרב חנין קמיה דרב יוסף מנורה היתה באה מן העשת מן הזהב עשאה של כסף כשרה של בעץ ושל אבר ושל גיסטרון רבי פוסל ור' יוסי ברבי יהודה מכשיר של עץ ושל עצם ושל זכוכית דברי הכל פסולה

Tosefta Chullin

A menorah is not valid unless it is produced a solid block [of gold (see Menachot 28b:4)]. [If it is fashioned from] filings, it is invalid, and if it is made from other types of metal, it is valid. Trumpets are not valid unless they are fashioned from silver. [If] they are fashioned from [silver] filings, they are valid. [If] from other types of metal, they are invalid, and consequently it is said, "[What is] invalid in a menorah is valid in trumpets, [and what is] invalid in trumpets is valid in a menorah."
