Fundição de Massarelos, Porto, Portugal. Note that spelling of Massarellos changed at some point.
Worked from 1852 to 1975. At some point the foundry became part of Fundição do Ouro (Companhia Aliança)[1]
Numerous examples of the work of this foundry can be seen in Porto, for example in the iron market halls in the city (Mercado de Ferreira Borges and Mercado do Bolhão), and a hand crane at the Porto Transport and Communications Museum (Museu dos Transportes e Comunicações).
