Cast Iron Caudron

[country0129]

Interested in learning more concerning a cast iron cauldron. It has dual gate marks, indicating it was made between 1750 and 1900 and some lettering I can't quite identify. There were two different stands that may have come with it.

Can someone ID the piece and value it for me?



Thanks

That's cool, did you dig it out of the ground or barn find or?

That's a nice one. With the straight line, the casting "gate", and the rounded ears, its 19th century manufacture. People still use them for big projects like apple butter, etc.

It's my BroNLaw's. He got it from one of his neighbors.

Now I have to find me some apple butter, it's been 20+ years I've had some.
