| Note: There are almost never any labor charges. Virtually our casting charges are on a per dwt. basis only. Pieces weighing <.5 dwt. subject to surcharge. For metals that are not cast often, a flask charge of $25 may apply if billed weight of castings is less than 25 dwt. * Silver castings weighing less than 0.5 dwt incur an additional $1 per piece charge. |
