Good 1813 EK core ??

[Borzadow]

Hello,

a few days ago I was in a Gleiwitz (Gliwice) museum of foundring.

It is basically a museum of Koniglisches Eisengießerei Gleiwitz (Hutten Amt Gleiwitz),
which was producing cores to EKs 1813, and 1870.

I found also there a strange looking EK core. It was subscribed as an original 1813 EK core produced in HAG as a example piece, but I have some doubts about it.

Please take a look and judge it.

Core is the right one,

morel - thanks for the link !!! I realize that I saw that thread, but somehow I forgot about it....



Kay - yes, they had thousands of iron artifacts there
But there are no rooms such theese you have shown. Now whole area is changed. But there are still a working foundring company there !!!

It is a must see place. If you ever will visit Gleiwitz you may contact me, I live in Gleiwitz (Gliwice) so I can guide you

For you: a few other iron pieces from Gleiwitz:


1) iron plateau made by Karl Schinkel (it is in exhibition in Gleiwitzer castle)





2) two lions made by Theodor Kalide

a) Watching Lion (stands near residence of Caro)



b) Lying Lion (stands 150 meters from first)
