Windmill Weight The Rustler


This is an unusual windmill weight that i purchased some time ago.At least the person had reason to believe that.It is of heavy cast iron and must weigh35 or 40 pounds.You can tell it is very old by the patina on it .It is about 7" wide and 30" long.It has a flange all the way around on one side and flat on the other.It appears the the two small holes on the right side are the mounting holes.

This is a couple of pics of the Dec 9 2009 snow storm that stopped the whole state of Iowa.Morning and afternoon.



This is a very beautiful art wall lighting that has porcelan pieces and several stained glass panels.It was made by an art professor in Grinnell Iowa for a local church and has been in storage for 30 years.It is over 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall.The tue lights were damaged before I purchased it but it would not be hard to install the strip lights behind it when mounted.The main frame is made out of 1" square tubing. I show about six pictures.641-660-5868 Bill















This is a large barn cupalo about 7 feet tall
I also have several small cupalos in crate ,never been on a barn coming soon.
These are heavy duty cast iron gussets for a balcony set below .These are to fasten to the side of a building ( four each) so the railing below will set on top of it.
This is the balcony railing all cast iron.It sticks out from the building 3 feet on both ends.The length of the main part is 10 1/2 feet long.The top of the railing was cracked but I welded it to complete a nice repair.It will work just great.This set has two ends,one main rail,and four gussets.It is very heavy. 641-660-5868 Bill

These will swivel to fit the angle of the stairway.641-660-5868 Bill



These are cast iron stair rails form about 1880.They came from the Keota Iowa school about 40 years ago.It uses two 11/2" pipe on top and thru abotu midway where the flower is located.I have six each.I will have two other pictures on soon.

These are cast iron railings or newell posts from the same school in Iowa.They also have two 11/2" pipes that run thru four each and two end posts.Theas are also 1880 vintage.I also have six of these.
