Doesn't look like an HB, (hourglass) or Trenton (pill) base; I'll have to bring in Anvils in America and see what a base with no indent might be.

This rolled into my truck at the ABA Fall conference earlier this month. Weight: 110 lbs Size: 9 1/2 inches diameter 3 1/2 inch bench vise for size comparison. Cost: Nada, Zip, Zilch (traded an old axe head for it!) Cast steel, baseball-size hollow core, should be good for something around the shop!

From what I have heard the steel ball is used to crush coal into finer pieces to be burned as fuel....as they tell me these balls roll around in a circle track as coal falls down on them. When the balls get under size from all the wear and tear they are discarded........not sure if this is a true thing but it is cool to think about! Ha! Lucky find Key! well done. Peyton
