Weird thing we dug up

07-13-2005, 01:58 PM

Does anyone know what this thing is? We dug it up out of the back yard. It was sticking out about halfway to start with and had a threaded hole in the top. It looked kind of like an ashtray. It also has a few threaded holes in the bottom.

It looks like an old fashioned acetylene tank for a welder, pre 1940.

Looks to be the expansion tank of a hot water heating system for the house.
