      thanks mike but the 2 holes on the sides are large bolt holes where it had been mounted so i dont think its a door. also i think this came out of CA if that info helps. thanks again mike, larry

      My guess it is address number for a building. Or and this is the odds on favorite a corner stone date marker. We have some old house and buildings in the area that have these date plates. Some are brass some are cast iron.
