ID help

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.

Thanks everyone for your help. At this time the owner is deciding what he wants to do. He asked me if I would rebuild it for him and I declined. He has no other parts other that what you see in the pictures I have posted. He wants a windmill to spin and this one would require too much work and then there the issues of lubrication once it is in use. I have suggested he look for an Aermotor or other run in oil type windmill that is complete with a tower.

Again, thanks for the help!

Made for 3 years, give or take. 1890's. It's referenced in the green book under Stover. Look in the back of the 'bible'. it's also referenced in the back of it.
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 it looks like the Stover Freeport is going back to Cali next week. The owner has a friend that wants to help him with it. Thanks everyone for your help in the identification.
