I know this is a Edison part of some sort, but to what??
It's 3" X 4" with 1/2" chamfered edges on both sides.
It has 1/8" edge and is 3/8" thick.
The "Top" has TRADE / Thomas A. Edison / Mark on it.
The bottom is blank and the shiny mark you see is where I put it to the wire wheel.
It seems to be incased it some type of metal, but a magnet does not stick to it!
It's very hard, as can be seen by what the wire wheel did to it.
On a corner where it has a chip it looks like it has a softer kind of carbon core.
now the weird part...
when I run a metal detector (MXT) over it, it doesn't register.
It only puts out a sort of hum and only when crossing over at an almost touching height
I have no idea what this may have been used for and hope that someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
