Haven't had much luck on Google mostly pots and pan and maker markings haven't found anything about engine blocks yet. Thanks for the help

No way your getting $1.70 lb for black cast, think you may have meant $1.75 per hundred weight, $35.00 short ton.

Black cast would be soil pipe aka sewer, stove cast and probably include bath tubs and sinks and hot water radiators.
