Had to check the map. I worked on the Grand Isle ferry in the distant past (mid 1980's)

Plans? I guess just put it on a stand and look at it until i die and someone throws it out lol

Make up some fantastical tale of intrigue and mystery and sell it on eBay for 4 figures.

Either way, if the pipe is cleaned up, or just left on the shelf, that is super cool!

Cool. Display it in a jar with sand from the beach.

That's a master level restore project, nice find.

Great find! I notice the abrasion being on the beach/in water, in and out, sloshed around- has removed the rim char. A new method!

I wish my workbench was a hot tub. puf

Edit: crap, I read the title as bench not beach... duh!!

That looks past restoration but is a worthy artifact. It has probably been in the lake, but most of the weathering may have been on the beach. I think sand and turbulence in the water would have beveled it down even more, just guessing.

You found it in the skeletal grasp of a dead Hobbit, yea, that's it...

It's the briar equilivant, of morta!
