The picture above is after cleaning the bar. Picture below before cleaning and the bar was still in its plastic that preserved it. Was about 4 to 5 inches deep and read a solid 96 on the Simplex+.

Very nice find ! I agree, it was probably for show and tell and some youngster lost it.

Looks like show and tell turned into showed and lost. Great find. We won't see many of those.
