<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 328615, member: 36"]I've seen cast iron birds, but they were mill weights and the like. I wouldn't think this was old; an old one that was painted wouldn't have paint on the underside. The castings of the old ones were sharper too. The alloys they used in the old days and casting techniques were better than anything in common use now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
