    ANTIQUE CLAY BALLAST BRICK FROM ENGLAND WITH ANY DATE CARVED INTO IT. GREAT GIFT.
    Found in Newport RI after demolition of 18th century chimney in historic district. This brick is similar to others that were used as ballast on sailing ships coming to Newport RI by sail in the 19th century. These ballast bricks would be left ashore to make room for good brought on board fir the trip back to England Thrifty Newport’s would salvage these bricks and use them in their homes.
    Give me the date you want carved in and I will do it and then paint with gold leaf type paint. See photos and ask questions if any.
