It has been falling apart gradually for a few years. Today, we reached in and drew out a heavy, pale, pinky-beige colored brick with the initials "W.W.Co." (It could indeed serve as a weapon: 9 1/2" long, 4 1/2" wide, depth 2 1/2" and just shy of 7 1/2 lbs.) Peering inside the barbecue, we spotted more of the same bricks, all appearing in pristine shape. This, and several writers above, lead us to believe these bricks were first class parts of fireplaces, cooking sources and the like. We would be very interested in any further shared observations concerning the W.W.Co., especially located in New England.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3187763883786048612.post-40259340017271227212017-06-12T10:55:51.988-04:002017-06-12T10:55:51.988-04:00Anonymous,
