What is this protection piece?

Looks like a Forrest Titan

Forrest Treeton or Teeton I forget the exact name.  I had a rack of them at one time.  

I think it was spelled Titon to rhyme with piton. They were not well loved as I remember...

"Titon" seems to be the correct spelling. I don't think I ever saw one being used, although they were still in shops when I started climbing.

My partner called them Teeter-tons. The weren't exactly stable unless you really forcefully set them, and even then......

They were great door stops!

Led my first 5.9 on those, loved them, had a double set....They were stable, dupid coonyard lovers made hexes more popular. :P

#6 Forrest Titon. I used to use the same piece on the last pitch of 3rd flatiron. 

These could be placed narrow stopper mode, wide stopper mode, camming mode and longer ones could be placed like a piton (bong). # 16  could be used in offwidths and I had a partner who thought it was a "step"

The largest steel one was a pink Tricam (basically) before there were pink Tricams.  Very helpful in the Gunks BITD (70's).

We called them Tetons like the Mountain range, very useful pieces for sandstone trad routes, I personally liked them as much as hexes, only have the smallest five left but I no longer use them. The larger ones to me racked as well and performed as well as the coonyard tube chocks for OWs. Forrest gear was pretty popular in the 70's and from swami's, harnesses, protection, ice gear, softwear such as mitts and packs was all quite bomber and utilitarian.
