I stopped by a trash pile to pick up some garden hose to build a tankless water heater flush kit. In the pile was a few big coils of electric cabling. Most of it is stiff, 3-wire, pvc coated stuff that I'm guessing might be 8ga cable. The only printing I've found on the sheath so far reads:
trw crescent wire and cable thof 23 standard pvc 1976
It might well be worth more as cable than as scrap but I've never seen cable without more identification on it. Anyone have an idea what this is and what it might be worth? Or how to find out?



One coil is much more flexible and smaller ga and that sheath is somewhat dry rotted. That's likely recycle material.
