Hello Histarch-ers,
I'm inspired by all the industrial machine/process expertise we
evidently have on this list to make an appeal for help in identifying an
artifact found this summer at my ca. 1885-1935 dissertation research
site in Tulare Co., California: It's a cast iron object which looks like
some sort of cylinder head, and measures very roughly 10" x 6" x 1.5".
The number on the top view is "6251[?]1-4."
Pictures here:

Any ideas on what kind of engine/machine this may be from?
Thanks!
