    We bought in a broader, thinner Englehard 100 today.
    Any idea when those were made?

    A trapezoid is strictly a 2 dimensional object.

    We bought in a broader, thinner Englehard 100 today.

    The flatter Engelhard 100's were made in the late 50's to early 60's.

    Some times they are a little "warped".

    Not many around due to the great 1979/1980 metal run that got most of these melted.



    In a bit....

    Pyramids have equal sides and aren't elongated.

    It is called a frustum. Specifically, a frustum of a square pyramid -- as one could also have a frustum of a cone, triangular pyramid, etc.

    I have to wonder why it is that they would melt a bar. Isn't it already in the form they want it unless the melters had certain molds and they wanted to keep their bars uniform in shape and size.
