can you tell me what this is?

Yes that is Canada in the back ground. It is called a fairwater and would cover the hub of a propeller on a ship, and this is just half of one, it weighed 498 lbs. of course brass.And we took it in for scrap.

If you dont mind me asking, what do you get for scrap brass in your neck of the woods?

A freind of mine found a single bronze blade, it weighed over 5000 lbs and he got over $7000 from the scrap dealer.
May be its from the same ship as your fairwater. lol

ZDD

also curious as to what you got for it ... pretty neato!

IMO It looks like a Portion of a hub to a prop. See if there is any numbers/manufacturer details on it. Zodiacdiver is right, brass fetches a fair penny when recycled. Merry Christmas!
