but don't know much about it...was used in a fellow's grandfather's fabrication shop until 1941 when it got put in the barn. It looks like the top was rewelded to the bottom....but it rings like a bell on all sides from top to bottom..am going to clean it off with a wire wheel and see if I can find any markings....any ideas on what it might weigh? It is 29 inches long by 3-1/2 inches wide. Was all I could do to lift it straight up onto the tailgate of the pickup. I hope I can figure maker out, and I'll weigh it this weekend. 'Preciate any and all help.
