Sterling and list,
The meteorite you are referring to is the Benld, which fell in Illinois in
1938. (I apologize for lateness of reply--out of town)

 Interesting to note that the Chicago Field Museum's display, (replete with
part of the actual garage roof and automobile spring and cushion)---only has
a casting of the meteorite on display---even though the Catalog of Meteorites
lists the main mass as being with the museum.

Best,
