Comments:

An email correspondent sent us this photo as part of a request for information on it.

"For years it has been displayed inside a VFW hall since the 60's and they had been told it came off an old steam locomotive. I am trying to help them identify it and any history associated with it. This is the only photo they provided but I will update with new photos soon. It is cast iron about 3ft x 3ft and weighs a couple hundred pounds... The text cast into the face is: C. B. Rogers & Co., Norwich Ct. and Patented June 9, 1868..."
