Description: This item came from my dad's estate. He was hired on with the John A Roebling's and Sons Wire Rope Company in 1952. There is a long and colorful history with this company as they were perhaps one of the greatest engineering companies of all time, designing and constructing the Brooklyn Bridge and many others. The end came when The Crane Company (owner at the time) closed the Roebling Trenton plant in 1973. My father was in Trenton at that time and came away with many artifacts as the plant was abandoned. This listing is for a NOS (New Old Stock) Double Equalizing Thimble for wire rope use. It is for 5/8" - 3/4" wire rope. It is unused. It is from the John A Roebling's & Sons wire rope company and was made c1945. There is no damage, but the finish is rough. Please see "Item condition" below. Has been stored in a warehouse for over 75 years. If you wished to, it could be bead blasted to bring it to a clean peened metal. I had two of these and I doubt very much if any more exist today. Thank you for looking. Unit is made of cast aluminum or cast magnesium....I am unsure of which but due to the oxidation....I believe it to be magnesium It is quite light for its size. There is surface corrosion from the elements but it has been stored inside all these years. It is also dirty and has some grease marks here and there. I have kept one from my collection and I bead blasted it.....leaving it a nice mat gray finish....you could do the same or not. It stands 14-1/2" tall and is marked with the following: Roebling 5/8" - 3/4" Morley & Associates DEV 109. Shipping by FedEx package service is 18.75 in the 48 states which does NOT include Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico. Summary of My Selling Policies First of all, thank you for your purchase!
