Within 500 yards of the house I found 4 different ones in the same street and the neighbours learned they have a nutcase living at #39
This is the third attempt at posting these so I won't mess with the sizes.

Nutcase, is there a store there @Lawrence you are not telling us.
I think I am hooked. I love doing zany stuff.

This are not "manhole covers", but "coal hole covers". These are in front of a double house on Pine Street in Portland Maine. Each cover when removed would reveal a coal chute that emptied into a coal bin the the cellars of the homes, so the coal delivery man would not have to carry the coal through the house. There are quite a few of them throughout the city, mostly of the same design.

IF it ever stops raining up here, I can get one. They are about 14" in diameter, with circular grooves in a bullseye shape, but no markings as to maker or year.
And, we better never! It was in the 50s when I got up this morning. I'm ready to head back! 13 more days!
It was really hot in PA and then the front moved through. It was in the mid 60's in the morning and warmed up during the day.
