Sterling and list,
The meteorite you are referring to is the Benld, which fell in Illinois in 
1938. (I apologize for lateness of reply--out of town)

 Interesting to note that the Chicago Field Museum's display, (replete with 
part of the actual garage roof and automobile spring and cushion)---only has 
a casting of the meteorite on display---even though the Catalog of Meteorites 
lists the main mass as being with the museum.

Best,

Steven L. Sachs  /  Highland Park, Illinois
