I was curious about the dull gray appearance of the lower leader section. I reached out a window to tap on it and was surprised that it's made of lead. Most of the casement window roll down screens were still functioning, too.
kurt Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Are you sure it's not lead coated copper? Regardless, it's pretty nice.
John Kogel Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Neal, wipe your lens. [] Yes, that is very nice detailing for such a mundane item.
Neal Lewis Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 The lens is scratched. Time for a new camera. And it was raining... The downspout could very well be lead coated copper. I could only scratch it slightly while leaning out the window, so it was hard to tell.
