Jde, Have you ever heard of E C Schleyer Pump CO in Anderson, IN? When the price of pig brass became outrageous, the foundry owner, who I lived with for 6 years, Harold Gray, bought a bunch of used water valves, laid them on the ring of the oven,till there was no moisture left in the valve. Removed the handles and screws, pushed them off into the crucible. When it was all melted, threw in a bunch of broken glass and lead shot, rolled it off on a pipe, and skimmed the rest off of the impurities. Poured the brass into sand molds,machined the castings,no complaints of pinholes or dirt.E C Schleyer built a good pump, it was used for industrial application. I would think they are still in business,but don't know for sure since I don't live there anymore. Brought back alot of memories. LOU
