recovered iron railing parts

NO, this isn't a showing of my city provided trash dumpsters. Or at least it isn't *intended* to be (though I guess it sorta really is too anyway...sorry...?) but instead, the chunks of iron pipe and fittings that now surround said green bins near the end of my driveway -- a year or five after I got them, and when in fact, it finally occurred to me that I could use 'em for that and reassembled/put them there, instead of being unceremoniously and randomly piled behind the house where they (and more pcs) landed right after I brought 'em all home, ultimately from a much larger blue construction dumpster at a big church where I had been spending the better part of a summer doing a big new organ project inside, which itself was just a small part of other major construction/remodeling/etc they also had going on that summer at the same time. But nevermind...

These are parts of an iron railing that was part of a larger/longer one in all, that surrounded an exterior concrete stairwell that went down from ground level to mechanical rooms under the church auditorium proper, maybe also originally serving as a 'fire escape' route from that basement, which actually did have other larger and finished 'public areas' within most of the rest of it.

And all that part of the place was getting majorly re-done then too, and that particular stairway was due to be jackhammered and erased from existence, and right before that started to happen somebody with a sawzall cut all the old railing apart and away from all its mountings and dragged the pieces to the dumpster one morning.

And they didn't lay *there* for more than a couple hrs at most, before I (on a typical smoke-break) noticed, backed my own truck up to the dumpster, and dragged them all into *IT* instead...?? <LOL>

At the time I actually considered the idea of trying to rescue a few of the flanges and whatnot stubs left on the building for the jackhammer, but it ultimately didn't seem like it'd be worth the effort to do so... ;-)

All the pipes are a little over 2" diameter, their connecting fittings are known as "ball crosses" (or elbows, or whatever) for the probably obvious reason that they were designed to look prettier than typical plumbing parts made to connect pipes together that actually need to contain water pressure, which these certainly would not do.

Oops, I should have added that the building itself (thus these former parts of it) is ca.1950's in age...sorry I forgot to do that... :-)
