Made in India and solid brass, I'm sure one day bits and pieces of it will come in handy for some steam project.

Jim,
I often pick up metal items like this at garage sales, flea markets or thrift stores to use in a future project.  Or, you can always melt it down in the home foundry to cast your own parts.

You’ll have to look through some of Tony Bird’s projects for a little inspiration  ;)

So, you'll be screwing it to the wall in your bathroom then?
