This is a different gooseneck.

I can find no markings on it. Beautiful bronze work. It weighs 18 pounds. With the rotating boom end fitting and the out-haul track and screw, the bronze hardware adds up to 35 pounds. I would guess the spruce boom weighs no more than that as it all feels like at least 70 pounds on my shoulders going down the docks.
