Cool. I have one that's trying to return to the earth. It's quite corroded and stress fractured that I don't think will take a weld. There isn't too many foundries left around these days. My uncle started work in a small foundry that was in town when he was a pup they ended up moving off to an industrial area and eventually closed.

They're a dyeing breed. Everything used to be made of cast iron. Now it's mass produced crap from China. I went to my uncles work as a young teenager for a hour or so. I'd love to have toured it or worked there for a while. When they closed they still patterns from 80 or so years earlier.
