Any guess as to what it was on or used for? Does it have holes in the legs for mounting. Hope it cleans up good.
I would think a very significant find. Keep us posted !!!

James, where do you live? Our area is a good place to search, I live closer to Ny state, but am still in Ontario. Also what's your age? Send me a private message. Thanks mate. have a good one.

Clean that baby up, it's a nice find! Have you tried cleaning up the oxidation, and if so what did you use? My recomendation would be to sndblast it with a small media and then use a rust prevenytative oil on it.
