Old cast iron 3 legged pot, probably was being used as a flower planter until the hurricane washed their ocean front house away!

What size is it? Do you see any casting seams?

I don't see a gate mark on the bottom. In my opinion it was manufactured after 1880.

That's what I was thinking, 1900 or so? It doesn't have the casting lines that very old pots have. For some reason it seems that pots were used on or near the beach. My father in law found a very old (1700) pot buried on a Puerto Rican beach.

Its no more than 8” in diameter on its widest part. And no more than 7” tall. I dont think I see any casting seams. The legs look to be welded.
