Europe continues to be a rich source of cast iron valve covers. Even newer ones have a rich texture and design.
Madrid, the capital of Spain is almost the middle of the country. A hilly city famous for its Placas (large public squares) and three art galleries - Prado, Reniea Sofia and Thyssen Bornemisza.
Toledo is a small hill top town with steep narrow streets and a mighty cathedral. Covers #8120 - #8124 are from Toledo. Rest are from Madrid.
Many covers are larger than normally sighted on this website. * means a larger cover; ** means a man-hole cover.
Note - lip balm for scale is 70mm long and 18mm diam.
