Another fireback in the impressive collection of historical reproductions, this Pennsylvania Firebacks Catoctin Furnace Cast Iron Fireback pays homage to one of the earliest industrial villages centered around the iron-working craft. Firebacks are shipped with a water base black paint to prevent rust build up during transit. To give a brighter finish to the fireback and to protect the casting from rust after use with a fire, an application of water base graphite stove polish is recommended. Applied with a toothbrush or rag, this paste, when dry, can be polished with a wire brush or rag giving the fireback an attractive silverfish sheen.This pre-Revolutionary War village is nestled at the base of the Catoctin Mountains in Maryland where workers thrived for over 125 years in a productive iron-making community. At the center of the development of the furnace were the Johnson brothers, one of whom became Marylands first governor. After its establishment, the furnace was leased to Benjamin Blackford and Thomas Thornburgh. The enterprise was a successful one, and the Catoctin Furnace is now a part of the Cunningham Falls State Park.|Cast Iron Construction |22.625 inch W x 21.75 inch H |Handmade in the USA
