Re: looking for an id on a part here
No idea what it is, but I’d leave it where it is .
They got the length and width all arse about . Hate to imagine what 4.5” thick means .
Lead soldered too , most probably .
Not every copper deal is a good one .If it can be had for a $ then grab it for scrap . If they think its worth something , let them sell it to a fool

Functionally speaking, there is nothing special there.
You'd have to crowbar it into a design if you incorporated into your outfit.
Not saying a creative fabricator couldn't do something cool with it. But in its present form, if it is intended to be a still part, it was likely part of a contraption.

Re: looking for an id on a part here
Thanks for the info guys, will probabaly pass on it then. Only wants $60 CAD for it, but if I need to make money off of scrap by buying this, I probably have bigger issues. Was hoping it might be something neat that I haven't come across before, but also figured I might just find lead solder and wish I had never bought it. lol
If someone DOES figure out what it might have been....well, inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks again.
