Unusual Alloy castings!

[Martin King 2Participant @martinking2]

Hi All,

Just got back from a small boot sale near me and a chap I know there has got a lot (100's) of these alloy castings:

As you can see they are for ashtrays! Various sizes, the largest shown is 150 x 90 x 35; smallest is 90 x 75 x32, there are other sizes as well not shown.

If you turn them upside down they look like this:

It just seems to me that these are useful casting for bases of small engines etc when machined down.

Or am I talking rubbish? Probably destined to all go for scrap unless there is any interest, he was talking about a £1 each…

I have zero interest in these and am only posting this for info only please PM me for contact details if interested or post here.

If I have violated any forum rules here will the mods please remove this or whatever needs doing and accept my apologies. Just trying to be helpful is all.

If you look at the latest posting page you'll see only five other threads have had comments since you posted…

An idea of where the boot sale happens might help?

Frankly … They look destined for the melting-pot.

But; as a 'batch' it's reasonable to assume that they'e all cast from similar stuff: So maybe someone with a 'Backyard Foundry' will give a better price than the scrap-man.

Hi Neil,

Point taken, the guy is in Dorset and I was just going to pass on his 'phone number to anyone interested.

MichaelG, will pass that on to the chap, I suspected that it would be scrap in the end.
