Mystery tower

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.

The mast pipe on the American Bell Hub is completely different that's what threw me off.

The mast pipe in the first picture is probably Aermotor

Yes it's similar to the mast pipe on the aermoter oil baths but the tower is completely different too. I didn't know there was a difference between the American and Canadian aermoters i guess I learned something new today.

That's probably just a Toronto tower that had an Aermotor on it at one point.
