Cast Iron Sundials

In the 19th century a trend developed in Britain and America towards a more affordable alternative to bronze.  Cast iron became this alternative material and was responsible for the first garden art to be mass-produced for the middle class.  Although affordable, the trade off with cast iron is that it rusts -- which is highly prized these days in some gardens.
