Thanks for the welcome. I'm not really looking to get into metalworking as I already retired from a tool & die career. Like some, I thought it was a unique find for me and I probably will look at it more than I will use it.
I found it near Amsterdam, NY & it came home with me to Chicago. Is there anything I should not do to change it's condition? (i.e. sandblasting, chemicals?) Thanks for any input.
