Here is an item that I recently picked up that is interesting to say the least. It is a cast iron casing of The Last Supper. The back states as made by the Chas Parker Co. from Republic Iron. It is small (about 4"x6"). For a casting from Iron, it really has a lot of fine detail and is very well done.
It came out of the Meriden, CT area, from an older woman whose father was a life long employee of the Charles Parker Co. The story is that this item was made as a gift for employees only and not for the public. And an estimate of less than 300 made.
It was on-line for some time and maybe some here had seen it for sale. The price finally came down to an amount that I was willing to pay for it. Anyway, enjoy.
