Not cleaned up but, don't see any hint of markings on the bottom. the "8" kinda reminds me of a Vollrath but the bottom doesn't look quite right?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Yep, the shape of the "8" and bottom look identical. So was the final thought a Martin? Does not look like the Glascock.

Yeah definitely not the Glascock. I think it's either an unmarked Martin or a copy that some unknown foundry made from an existing Martin, the latter being more likely. I don't have a marked #8 Martin to compare to, but I think it's a bit small which would suggest a copy.
