Driveway paver?

Part of a gravestone marker?

I'm thinking along the lines of a roof tile

I've tried enhancing the lettering in the Maltese Cross - but still can't quite read it properly.

If it says NORMAN, is a brick co.

If it says NORMAN, is a brick co.

The only references I can find, to a Norman Brick, is for a brick size/style, as in this link

How thick is this? What are all the dimensions?

Looks like it says "NEWYOR" or "NEW?OR".

It looks like NEWTON. Google found a IDEAL TILE in Newton, but it doesn't look like a manufacturer. (?)

The color suggests maybe a fire brick I think, like around a wood stove type application.
-I'm basing this on the color of the chipped portions, which I'm supposing would be closer to the original color

The guy in this link specializes in antique Hudson River bricks: HUDSON RIVER BRICK COLLECTION
If it can't be solved here, it seems like he's the man to ask.

Looks like HOLMAN or MOLMAN to me.

 

[digging wv]

Sure it's not NEW 70R ( read upside down)

 

[2Minnesota]

I was reading it upside down too.

 

[diggummup]

Go back and search the general area for more pieces.

 

[cudamark]

I guess I just assumed it was oriented the same way as the letters above the symbol.

 

[Peter Iredale]

The marking is german

 

[diggummup]

The marking is german

Why? Because it looks like an "Iron Cross"? Not German specific. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_pattée

Even this is not German- Visitors' Page 3: BrickCollecting.com

This one ... IMO... goes to Kenstein...
NEWTON Ceramic tile IMO.

I know of no word in the English language that starts with BEEB. Of course I BEEB could be the first beginning letters of a company name or I as the first initial and BEEB as the beginning of a surname. BEEB could also be the first four letters of a foreign word or name.

Since the OP is from NY, I'm assuming it was found in NY; therefore, the letters in the cross could be NEW YOR.

I agree with Benz in that it looks like fire brick material.

Neat find (Now go find some more of it!)
