Recent find..Need help identifying something!

[How Lucky]

Need help identifying something! Measures about 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". Its cast iron, has enamel on the inside. My first thought that it was for a sharpening wheel, for cooling. Any thoughts?

I have never seen a lead pot that was enameled on the inside and no pour spout. Think it could be for something else but don't know what.

firemanphob,

Keen observation on there being no pour spout; initially, I missed that

its awfully thick for its size, maybe something to do with heat?

Im thinking a grease pot for heating grease up to put on wagon wheels, used a brush to coat the parts....

Looks to me like it would fit into something because of the lip around the edge and the long handle. Maybe it would fit into one of the holes of an old kitchen stove, the ones where you take the cast iron lid off first. Nice conversation piece. Good luck. Hope you get a positive ID.
