<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 4028786, member: 77413"]Those two dots above LIBERTY are the clue. When welding is done, there is metallic spatter, and where it lands it melts into or onto that surface. If someone hit this with a MIG welder, or even a small-gauge rod, it would leave spatter just like this. It could even be solder, but that drips more than spatters. I had to scrape off a lot of this when I worked as a shipfitter / steelfitter in the ‘70’s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
