Remember the same thing. I think "pot metal" was reference to a
very low grade of metal casting that would neither weld, braze, nor

Also known as white metal. See:

Well, that's what wiki says. I remember looking at a car once and
being told "please don't lean on that door, the hinges are white
metal". The car was a Ferrari 250GTO and the "white metal" was an
expensive aluminum alloy, not cheap zinc.
