Here is some more info on Gray and Dudley from a 'Southern Hardware and Implement Journal' from 1918.  It says that they did start out as a hardware company but later did decide to manufacture some of their goods and had 2 foundries.  Hard to read but here is a link to the Journal.  Mike

This is what I like about this board. I had never heard of Gray & Dudley, & now I am learning a lot about them. Lot's of knowledge on this board.

Thanks!

Ray,
 Can I use your pics for the foundry list? They are better than the ones we have now.
 Between the pics, and the links Mike posted, it makes a good improvement for that page!

 Jeff,
  Thanks for pointing out the similarity to the Wagner one. I would never have picked up on that.

For $35 you can become a member of WAGS,  not just the forum that you see now.   There is way more info that you can't see,  being a non member.   Just something to think about. ;)

If any of the pictures I post here are good enough to make this a better site your more than welcome to them. I'd be happy to try to get better ones if you need them.
