The cement log brick thing? - 8/22/2006 9:40:08 PM    RazorsEdge   Posts: 238 Joined: 5/8/2005 Status: offline This was also pulled from the river where the paver bricks were and i have no idea what it is or if it has any significance....It has a flat front but curvature in the back and also flat sides inticating it was connected to more similar pieces......But what? I can't think what it's application could have been...It also has "1390 B3" and a pattern engraved on the front....It's about 25 pounds, maybe 30.....Look at all 3 pics and let me know if you have any ideas.......
