    Description

    Great substantial piece of industrial NYC history. My understanding is that these came out of Central Park during a renovation of the grounds, some number of years ago. The company, Waring, Chapman, and Farquhar, has the contract for all the drainage and sanitary sewer construction during its construction. These covers are cast with the company name around the edge, som simple raised dots, and a center star. They measure 22” across and must weigh upwards of 50lbs each. Thanks for looking.
