Black Clawson Co
The Black Clawson Co. was world famous for their hand crafted big iron things. However, when people came to realize that there is no specific use for heavy iron objects such as this, they were tossed aside and the company went out of business.
Absolutely none of this is true. I just was fascinated by this large piece of metal.
