That is a really neat item. Looks a bit heavy.

I'm with 'ya Rivertrout -- I wouldn't even *think* about 'repainting' it or otherwise altering its current original (just once, as you point out) appearance -- the only question I'd have (if it were mine) would be whether to display it inside the house (to preserve it 'as-is') or outdoors. (so's to let it continue to 'age naturally'...?)
And to FtApache's comment -- I'm guessing its in the 100-150lb range...?? <lol>
AnythingObscure, yes it’s heavy.. good thing the flea market had rolling carts.. as for displaying it has a industrial look to it.. some people make tables with them etc.

From my home town & 1 year younger that me.
bb2 I hope you aged better than this :-) Is that really your hometown ? Would be cool to have it was .

Yep, Mani. Raised in them thar mountains. Number of foundries were there, and enough military bases that gave us the feeling that the yankees still didn't trust us.
