   50 pound weight.
This is a 50 pound cast iron weight intended for a large pan balance, or possibly as a calibration weight. It came from the liquidation auction of an Amish welding operation near Arthur Illinois. As a sample of iron it's ideal because it's using the element simply for the that fact of its being there, for its weight.
