Behold! The Vulcan Ironworks sign on Cumberland Street in Charleston, South Carolina, circa 1865. Such steampunky exuberance! Teresa sez, "I count wagon wheels, a plow, an anvil, what may be some wagon
springs, a great deal of ornamental ironwork, a purely ornamental
sword, what look like some arrow fletchings (except those aren't
normally made out of iron), a wrought iron hand holding a wrought iron
candlestick, a rather fine alligator or dragon, and a small cannon.
I'm sure that's not the complete list."
