Hi...I am Vallence Rambharat from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad and Tobago. I am happy to have found this website. Not long ago, I found this solid Iron block that had FISHER and 1913 plus the letter L stamped on it. I was told that a very old sawmill was once located there. I also found out that the area was close to where there was an old railway track. Trinidad and Tobago was a colony of England. I would like to know what this solid block of iron was used for as well as some information about the manufacturer. Thanks in advance.

L is the Roman Numeral for 50. Is the block 50lbs or 50kg? Besides that I can't help you my friend. Welcome to TreasureNet.

Welcome to Tnet. Since it was found near the railroad, I would say that is a scale weight. either for balance or calibration. Cool find, I like anything that,s old iron.

I have seen iron blocks used as weights on tractors and field discs, but not sure if that was really their intended purpose or not.
