Condensed Consolidated Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]  
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by A. M. Castle & Co. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited statements, included herein, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim period. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The 2013 interim results reported herein may not necessarily be indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for the full year.
Reclassification — To conform with current presentation, the Company has reclassified 2012 amounts related to foreign currency transaction gains (losses) to other income (expense) beginning in the first quarter of 2013. Such amounts were previously recorded in sales, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss. GAAP provides several alternatives for presenting foreign exchange gains (losses). The Company believes its new presentation will be most useful to investors as it is consistent with the way the Company views its operating performance internally and will also allow for better comparability of the Company's operating performance with certain companies within its industry.
