Made this in freshman metal shop in 1948.  Made of lead (would they allow this today)?  Found it while cleaning out an old cabinet.

I like that.  Is that Lincoln?  Looks like the profile on a penny.

Still a few foundry classes out there, just had a visit from a friend who is still taking the class. Location? Freeburg, Il.
Oh and they would be aluminum or a pot metal, just lead no.

I know that Bill Cosby isn't very popular nowadays, but when he made this audio in 1965, we thought he was funny as hell.
