    Not enough information to tie it to a maker or period

    We made these in shop in Junior High from cast aluminum

    I doubt your piece came from Minnesota

    Terry is still on so he'll answer more I'm sure and I'm pretty sure we made these in school too... in New Jersey.

    I think it can't be possible to make it at school.It is needed very high temperature.

    Some schools in the USA have/had foundries or at least low temp ovens for certain metals. Sometimes such castings were brought in to teach finishing methods.

    Weight of the piece could give a guesstimate on metal. It does not appear to be iron.
