When I said that I was under the impression my Sodorfors was cast iron and a 
painfully loud ringer. This morning I find out it's cast steel. So, what I 
thought was an exception turns out not to be and I'm not so mystified 
anymore.

I'm still not going to start producing a line of anvils, I wear ear 
protection regardless (usually) so am still not going to do much research on 
it. <grin>

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
