That is perhaps an "osage orange" (iirc) . When I was growing-up in Woodley Park (N.W. DC) and attending Maret School, there were a bunch of them around and we'd often roll them out into the street to be squished by passing cars.

Sure looks like an osage orange (Maclura pomifera).

"Horse apples" are dried-up horse dung. I don't think that item is one!

Horse apples is another word for the osage orange - the color in the name is because it's heartwood produces an orange dye.

I've heard them refered to as a "Hedge Apple", perhaps as the Osage Orange is also called the "hedge" around here. Perhaps the lack of horses nearby ... nope, plenty of horses...buggies..Amish. Mid Missouri they are osage oranges or hedge apples.

Looks like some sort of road equipment, maybe something to keep tar hot.

I am pretty certain that the woman in this photo is my mother who was at that time a City of Richmond official (the highest-ranking female at that time) working in the City Manager's office. The comment made by Seth Gaines that it looks like some kind of road equipment would make sense since she often dealt with various city departments.
