What are these? Mystery item at pawn shop.
« on: September 09, 2014, 08:01:25 PM »
Found a pair of these at a pawn shop.  May not be car related but I am wondering if anyone can give a hint as to what they are.  The are cast iron, and pretty thick and heavy.  No markings other than what is shown here.  Any ideas?

I know these may not be car related, but I have searched everything and everyplace I could think of, and I am stumped.   The heavy cast iron is gorgeous and I wish my exhaust manifolds looked this good.  Anyway, I am turning to my Camaro buddies to help me solve this mystery and allow me to sleep better.  Some mysteries just have to be solved.  BTW, they were asking $5 for the pair.  looking back, I should have bought them.  Maybe I will go back and get them...why, I have no idea.

 These look like cast iron gas stove manifolds.

And there you have it.   Looks like Mike was right.   Gas grill manifolds.   :o

 Now we know what they are for, all that is needed is a grill body, a propane tank, some Nathans, burgers, steaks and a few brews and have a tail gate party and talk about the Ford and Mopar guys (they bash Camaro owners anyways).   ;)

well if you dont grill, you could always keep it in the car to slap a idiot up the side of hte head,   it has a nice " handle" and perfect "flat spot" to leave a mark :)

Maybe i should get a set for the kids,  to heck with a belt!

I would keep these with the car show cleaning supplies......to use on the idiots that keep touching my car, or who wear those big a** belt buckles.
