One Man's Junk

Scored this for free today, all 300+ lbs. It will make a fine Saguaro Cactus. Question is, what was it in it's first life? There is a ton of thick heavy rust on it leading me to believe it was in salt water, or else someone chemically treated it to speed up the rust. Was it a cooler for a marine engine, or for a generating plant?Miller Challenger 172Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC 225/150Miller Maxstar 150 STLVictor 100CVictor JourneymanOxweld OAHarris O/ASmith O/A little torchNo, that's not my car.
