263471 Erik Levin 2017‑10‑09 Cast iron sash weights
After entirely too much time digging through the archives without finding an
answer, I will pose the general question:

Any good uses for old sash weights? 

I have a large enough collection that I can't even slide the crate without  a
Johnson bar, and, if there is a use, I would prefer that to the $10 I'll get at
the scrap yard in the current market, and they sit on CL forever, even at below
scrap price. I pulled the best looking two or  three to hold on to as
material/weight for future needs, but the other 50 to 100 (some windows had
extras at the bottom of the pocket, so #windows*4 doesn't do it for a number...
I have no clue why, but I have some guesses) need to go if there is no practical
use.
 No, I'm not putting back the single pane double-hungs in my house.... *** This
