Would this be cast zinc?  I've seen a few late 19th century cast zinc
markers scattered across NC.  Generally an even whittish grey in
coloration, sharp detailing and fairly ornamentmental.   The ones I've
seen are in a remarkably good state of preservation although now I'm
curious as to what type of bolts and screws were used to assemble them.
Galvanic action anyone.
