    If you click on "full size" when you load your photos they will appear large in your post and we won't have to click on them individually.

    It looks like a business gift/promo item. They used to make things like this to hand out to prospective clients, or to current ones. Newark was an important metal manufacturing area, so no surprise about where it came from. I don't know a thing about the companies involved.

    Here are two links (different pages) you may be interested in:

    dq=monarch+engineering+and+mfg+co+baltimore+maryland&source=bl&ots=nmqY2IKcLv&sig=unxgpq3nGY_OfyMoSnGK_VtdHGY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAmoVChMI64H1yoGixwIVRPWACh09Ugv7#v=onepage&q=monarch%20engineering%20and%20mfg%20co%20baltimore%20maryland&f=false


    https://books.google.com/books?id=D...neering and mfg co baltimore maryland&f=false

    Page 4 shows an advertisement for Monarch Engineering etc.

    Between the two links, it looks like there are 9 pages which show "something" that Monarch Engineering etc. was involved in. ;)

    This link yourturn... included is an old magazine "Master Railway Mechanic" and has images of loads of wonderful machines and tools, many now obsolete. One in there I've never heard of takes scrap steel and roll-squeezes it into "new" shapes so you can re-use it. Gotta git me one a them thar thangs! The Ajax Reclaiming Roll, page 3.
