Help with mill id

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

I've been out of touch for a while. Looks like you got more info than you thought. Good job guys.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Well I just ordered a roper whitney off ebay. Though not sure what size die is in it. Guess I'll find out when it gets here. I'm assuming 3/8 is the usual size for the towers or 1/2?

3/8 is common here. Woodmanse towers can have a bit larger.

3/8 is the most common here as well. For bigger mills, the bolt holes are proportionally bigger. You can take a 3/8 punch hole and drill it out bigger as needed.
