Picked this up at a yard sale this weekend. Don't know what made me purchase it but it was cool looking. Thinking it is some kind of boiler tank. About 30" long and about 70 pounds. I cant locate it on the web so seeing if anybody knows what it might be. Only markings are "Monitor" and GD 81 or GD B1

Looks like an expansion/pressure tank to me too.

Baker Manufacturing Monitor Engine. Probably a tank off an old water well pump engine.

If it had another hole, NORML would use it as a bong.

Apparently the 1 hp motor is the one to find. Only 7 known to exist.
