My dad had a scrap iron yard back then, late 50s early 60s, in Sioux City, IA. Weiner Scrap Iron and Metal. Mercury and magnets have always held a facination for me. I still collect magnets from old hard drives and anywhere else I can get them.

Too bad mercury is not magnetic, that would make for an easy clean up!
