This one probably has a good coating of asbestos brake shoe dust. Coatings of different things (including cigarette smoke) can protect an item and when cleaned you will be amazed. A mask and compressed air might be the start, in an open field if possible.
Follow Ups:
Any asbestos is long gone now....blown down the street to the other side of the tracks with an air compressor. Step aside.This weekend...the smell of Bose burning in the backyard fireplace may be in the air. It's almost time for "The Annual Burning of the Bose" at Byrd's!!!!
I just want to add a big AMEN (even though i'm not exactly religious) to the asbestos warning! Asbestos may not be in much use now, but back when that Fisher was new, they didn't know how harmful it was, and the brake pad industry lived off it. Oh yeah, I should say brake "shoe"! Brake shoes were a LOT bigger than most modern brake pads also.
Also clutches in both manual and automatic transmissions. Heat shields in old radios can be asbestos too.
