Default Garage sale find!

About 4 years ago my father calls me and says he found an old 4' brake at a garage sale. I ended up going to the sale and making a deal with the seller. I then went back with 4 guys and a moving cart to get it on the trailer. Well this summer I took it all apart sand blasted it and painted it machine gray. I found under the multiple coats of paint that it was casted in 1931. So I just assumed it was made in the good old USA. So I made some stencils at work. This is the finished product. They just don't make things like this anymore.
