Found this today. It seemed to be lead possibly. It looks like a base to something. It's broke in half but the writing I can read says " stonewall"
" Los Angeles cal" "united America" on the very bottom there is a partial picture of what looks like a indian head above a union type shield. There is writing around the shield I can't make out. Thoughts?
