OP here. Update. Since I wanted the panels raw and unprimed/unpainted, the end cost per cast iron railing panel was $145\. Shipping to NJ was $400.

THanks dean. I live in hoboken so tracking down the owner will be my option of last resort. I am likely going to place an order this week. Architectural Iron was crazy expensive — the least expensive panel that I didn’t even like was $279 and the heavy ones I liked were $482 EACH! I need about 40 of them so I needed a plan B. this morning I heard back from luke robinson at robinson iron (in alabama) and they have my exact railing. Cost is $170 EACH and it’ll take them 3 weeks to make. Still alot of $$ but I need these in like last week. http://www.robinsoniron.com/

The house 2 doors down from cvs on henry street (near love lane), had something very similar installed recently. you’d need to go and door knock to find out who/how if its what your after as I don’t know them, just saw the guys installing it, looks good.

The right way to fasten together would be a continuous weld and the cost of that would be way crazy. I contacted architectural iron and they have several other models that are double sided so I’ll likely go with one of those. I don’t need to match anything in particular, but just want something with a little body (and is double sided).

Could you use two one-sided panels fastened back to back?

They can most likely cast whatever you want. It would be more expensive to make a custom mold but they can certainly do it. Maybe talk to them and see what the options are.

thanks MDR. Their landmark series has a few styles that we like, but our favorite is only one-sided. We need something heavy and double-sided. We might go with their grove fence (902P).

Architectural Iron company in Milford Pa. Their catalog shows a number of similar panel designs. www.architecturaliron.com
