Seek Cast Iron Foundry
By Lee Munsick

Hello -- I know in the past I and others reading this list have
had need for people who can cast various parts, small and large.
The terrific shop I used in New Jersey has closed and I am now in
Florida with no contacts.  I hope someone here can help me.  This has
to do with another interest, Old Time Radio, so please bear with me.

I have in my collection a heavy cast iron book-end, shaped like one
of those very early NBC square box microphones with the round sound
opening.  Also, a wonderful heavy paper weight given out by Radio News
magazine.  It's in the round shape of a radio dial with numbers all
around the edge, and a knurled knob in the middle.  Both items are
large, heavy metal.

I'd like to find some aluminum or iron casting firm that could make
sand or other castings using the originals as models.  Does anyone here
know of a source that can do this (reasonably)?  If so, please contact
me off-list at <verotas@bellsouth.net>

Many thanks and all the best from Lee Munsick.
