Made old Abe at iron pour

1370rod · Sep 8, 2019

My first iron pour , thought it would be fun to try Abe and a medallion. They are not perfect but I am happy with the results. A lot of fun, I will try again next year. Rod.

I would love to see your foundry setup.
Our local foundry about 6 miles away shut down a couple of years ago and I sure miss it.

Don't know how close you have to be to see they are not perfect but they look perfect from Oklahoma.

From the base to top of head is 16 in

I would guess the 1920?s but like I said it is a guess. Rod.

We went to a iron pour celebration at a neighboring town

I understand that old Abe started as a WW I symbol. That would make it likely pre1920.

Maybe someone has better info. JI Case may have been required to do some modifications for legal reasons.

Where did you get the molds? Is the finished product a casting?

Don Rudolph · Sep 9, 2019

Well done Rod! Can I place an order for one? Don

Very nice Rod.

I have a original that we used to make the mold, the new one and the first one are solid cast iron 30 plus pounds approx. Rod.

I happen to have a few extra 16" Eagles laying around, and several 8" Eagles of both the TM design, and the later "CASE" design. Some are painted, and some the original "rust". FYI the TM Eagles were from before 1928. Email is open for inquiries. DK

Don I will be making only one a year which my family will fight over. But I know Dkase has made some nice ones and stands for them that he has had available. Check with Darrel he might have extra.

Cool Rod! Sounds like fun. The real Old Abe was quite a celebrity in his day for an old bird.
