A buddy gave me (what I presumed was industrial machinery, of sorts) the highly oxidized item as a gift. According to the provenance my friend was able to provide, the motor(?) was found in the Chesapeake Bay, close to the (now bankrupt and vacant) Bethlehem Steel Plant. I’m able to pay a few bills doing restoration work, but it’s mostly a hobby. I’m very impulsive, and jumped into the project before doing any research.

Boring story short, I’ve been searching the web exhaustively in hopes of identifying this thing, which finally led me here(thanks to the admins for an extremely painless registration/approval process). My ladyfriend plans on making a stained glass lamp, using this thing as the base, and I would consider myself in the debt of anyone that could help identify what it actually is, and put me out of my misery.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

ryno
