🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Copper Square Pc with "5" Stamped on it.

[thekise]

Copper piece 13/16 x 15/16" x .0585" Thick and stamped with "5" with score line and lip at top which looks like it may have been another score line where a piece was perhaps broken off?? Nothing on back.

Found on working farm from later 1700's to 1800's that became a park in early 1900's with practically no landscaping or moving of dirt.
Found 6+" down with Equinox 800

Any Ideas??

Thanks!!!

might be some kind of scale weight

I had thought of that - on accurate scale it weighs 5.3 ounces

I searched online but don't see anything similar....

I first thought it might be a weight, then the idea of it being for some electrical device.
Somewhere in the back of the mind it does look familiar.
Having done dismantling and owning a scrap company (seen a lot of items)

With the tracks on the sides I think it may be part of a numbering kit.

Just a wag… part of a fuse box bus bar Or knife switch?
