It is however rusted. I would like to know if anyone knows what I could use to make the iron stone look like new again! <BR/><BR/>Let me know at <BR/>proulx_andre12@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654195680992385326.post-59286513723641841112008-08-23T22:52:00.000+01:002008-08-23T22:52:00.000+01:00I have a couple of men's irons from the Montreal C...I have a couple of men's irons from the Montreal Caledonia Curling Club, where I had been a member in the 1970s. I bought them when it closed around 1983 and they have been sitting in my front hall in Ottawa ever since. ... except for the time we brought them down to try them out on the ice. After a couple of days cooling down to rink temperature, they stopped melting themselves into the ice and we found that the speed ran about the same as a stone. Due to their weight it was darn hard to throw hits and the irons had the interesting property of follow-through on a hit. They also made a boing sound when colliding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
