Not trying to bore anyone with my itty-bitty pieces but here is one
with a face on one side that is bright brassy looking. I have not
seen another with a slab like that but am relatively sure there would
be others out there. When I first saw that flyer with the reference
to a copper meteorite, I was picturing it to be similar to this
little guy.

Hi, E, and List

Fell 1931, May 10, 1715 hrs
Pseudometeorite..
A copper nugget weighing 29.457g is reported to have been
observed to fall. This copper "meteorite" is discredited, It contains
33% Zn, small Pb inclusions and less than 0.1% Ni. It is similar to
yellow brass, and distinct from native terrestrial copper and
meteoritic
copper, the latter having 0.4% to 2.4% Ni.
Sounds like a bushing to me...

I believe in case of a psuedo meteorite "fall" of what appeared to
be pure
copper, was actually matched in some manner to a copper engine
bushing off a
Ford Tri-motor.

Which is that?
