<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 207001, member: 55&quot;]Cast aluminum, per the links I found, made by Mexico Forge, originally of Mexico PA, later bought out by Kilgore (based in Ohio and later&nbsp; in Toone, Tennessee).&nbsp;&nbsp; They manufactured a full line of spring riders and other playground equipment.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Kilgore bought the name and trademark in 1974 and sold it in 1984, so that may help date it.&nbsp;&nbsp; A search of the springrider website might reveal whether there are castings with a Kilgore mark....but I haven&#039;t gone that far.</p><p>A playground lawsuit found online involved a Mexico Forge product installed in 1966, and I&#039;m not sure when Mexico Forge moved operations from Mexico PA to Reedsville.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Mexico Forge is apparently still in business in Reedsville, making other types of castings.
