I don't know where you are, but it doesn't look like American - Ulmus americana or slippery - U. rubra.  It looks like what I've heard called Chinese elm, an ornamental.

Elm's can be tuff to id to the correct species - almost need the fruit to distinguish between some of the species.  Some species will hybridize making it even more difficult.  But as PD said - looks like good elm to me.  Just as well dry some out and give it a try.
