Antique Industrial Iron Gears

Excited to have discovered a matched pair of large cast iron industrial gears. From the late 1800s by David Bradley Co.

I love the chunky teeth, raised 1800's text and numerals, and especially the bright red paint!

The one on the right in the photo is still in its "Before" state with its thick crusty rusty finish. I scoured the other with power wire brushes to remove the rust and reveal its original red paint. Seeing its condition clearly now, I realize these are unused new old stock- there's no use wear to the gears and its hub's bolt holes show no signs of ever being bolted onto the machine. How rare is this?!!!!

These are sure to make a dramatic Industrial Chic statement when used as wall decor or tabletops. Check them out on my website, as well as all my other antique and vintage industrial decor items.
