Any Old Iron

When Boris visited pre-Covid, back in early February, we carried the old iron bathtub downstairs and threw it out the front door. There it rested until today, when I broke it up with a sledgehammer. It was quick work--about a quarter of an hour. However, I kept this piece, with some lettering on it. I can read "Port Hope" at the top, "MADE IN CANADA," and "8-55" at the bottom. The other two lines are difficult to make out. The third might read "5 FT," which was the actual length, and "F-20." Of the second line, I can almost make the end: "ERION," but that's just a guess.
