The mold features a striking worn black and yellow painted finish that has aged beautifully over time, revealing layers of use and authentic patina. The top piece is stenciled “Portland Rock Crusher,” offering a glimpse into its working past. The base cone is the largest, making it a natural candidate for use as a dining or center table base—please inquire for a quote to convert this into a custom glass-topped table.

It’s functional industrial art—perfect for a loft, modern rustic interior, gallery, or commercial space.
