Iron bowl

[Woodland Detectors]

What would the bowl have been used for? Lead?
it's heavy for it's size.

The second object, I have no clue.

Thanks!



see the screw on the side? It apears like a calibration screw. Like on a carberator.

The bowl could be for melting lead or other metals. Or maybe a scale weight bowl?

First thought on 2nd item was flint holder for old gun or maybe an old can opener

The iron bowl reminds me of a small mortar from a mortar & pestle.

It is a "salt dip". Used on the table before or instead or a shaker.

My first thought on the other item is part of a cherry pitter/stoner.

Yeah or maybe apple peeler?

I agree, the bowl looks like some kind of mortar. The iron thing looks like some kind of early "multi-tool" with a fork on one end and the other part is maybe for picking up hot ration cans.
