My boss is leasing additional space from his landlord which required the landlord to come over and clean out some things he had stored there. I was chatting with him and noticed some old line shaft wheels on a cart and asked him about them, He said they were going to the metal scrapper so I offered to buy them. After talking a while he decided to give them to me. They immediately went to my car…
That pipe and valve at the bottom of the picture is an old gas light valve. He threw that in too
Today the wheels were placed outdoors where they will sit for the winter to gain some patina…
A close up reveals that these are probably cast with the spokes and the centers pressed on somehow…
In the spring I’ll place them somewhere in the Rust Garden at Indian Hill Junction.
