 That is very pretty. Too pretty to hit with a hammer.

Wow that is a beauty!!
 Wonder what the tables are made of?  Those are added for sure.

   Beautiful as it is, kind of thin in the web though.  Just sayin.

I bet it was a poor return on labor, whoever made it.
  Lotta work for not that much money.

I've had way too many chunks of rail swiped from me to bother going to all that fancy work.

Hell I even had PINK chunks of rail swiped.

That is one 1st class piece of work and very shapely.  Wowza.

They may have gone a bit overboard on the polishing.  Who would beat on that anvil with a BFH?
