At out last foray to the salvage yard my friend and I bought six of these HEAVY manganese thingies. The man told us that they were from an old rock crusher. I should have taken a photo of them before all this happened, but I didn't. Anyway, they were all four tombstone shaped and each had a hole up near the top of them. I brought them home and my DGD and I cleaned them up and used Notepad and made signs on them like RIP and UR Next and Boo and put on them. Then in the holes (from the back) we put pictures of a bat, a black cat, a witch, etc. so that you could look in the hole and see the figures.
I took them all to the flea market yesterday. I was so proud of our creativity! Three other dealers were standing at the door when I brought them in (in a grocery cart - they weigh about 40 pounds a piece!) Their first words, "What ARE those?" "WHAT are you gonna DO with those!?" and the worst one of all, "Girl! You ought to sell those for scrap metal! You could make a lot more doing that with them!"
Sigh........ LOL
