Not so much a personal cache, but ISTR a business in West Pittsburgh (which is actually North-West of Pittsburgh and south of New Castle, that dealt in literally tons of end-market machined metal metal items. From steel rods, plates, and tubes to nuts, bolts, rivets, and stuff people weren't using in mainstream. The place closed afew years ago, but it would have been open when the balloon went up.
