Vesuvius Crucible Company makes high temperature containers and accessories used in the making of Steel. These ceramic containers have finite life spans, since some impurities in molten metal bond to the surfaces, and the constant heating and cooling creates weaknesses over time. You can imagine the problems if a crucible were to fail while full of molten metal. You're not going to clean that up with Mr. Clean and a mop!

Vesuvius Crucible bought these cars second hand and continued to use them well into the 70's. The distinctive Volcano logo was recognized wherever steel mills existed.

Features the deLuxe innovations patent pending positionable door, etched metal roofwalk, etched metal brakewheel, and etched metal stirrups. The underframe is full dimensional in two parts, and the trucks are knuckle couplers with free rolling delrin wheels.
