About this site, The Final Shakeout…

What started out as one or two interesting castings sitting on a desk has quickly turned into a full blown collection for General Kinematics’s President, Thomas Musschoot. Over the past decade Thomas has searched and collected these markers of metal casting history. This site attempts to help share a bit of the history behind each casting and the foundries that poured them. All these castings are currently located at General Kinematics Corporation’s headquarters in Crystal Lake, IL.
