Cjm89, "Laclede mill made hot-rollod bars, steel strip, plate steel and wire" Hot rolled steel has a dark gray, dark blue gray, or light gray look to it. Cold rolled steel strip and plate generally has been oiled to protect. CRS would look steel colored to blackish. The bar stock would come in almost any size and shape, squares, strips, angles, channels, I beams, rods, zees, etc. Plate could be any width or length and generally was called plate when the thickness reached 1/8th inch thick or so. Please take what I have said here as simply general information. Before any of ya'll want to argue with me about the above, know that I spent 25 years owning my own tool and die & metal stamping business and that I grew up in a family of Tool & Die makers. So, I know from wence I speak!
