Stove lid/part?

kccj76 · Mar 1, 2012

Found on a Missouri farm with many, many older iron relics. Most stove pieces are probably thicker than this, but it resembles something from a stove. The bottom is flat and nothing to see. Any help? Thanks!

I think stove lid is a good call :icon_thumright:

(handle positioned at the edge) :icon_thumright:

My guess is off some kind of cooker if it's not at least 3/8". Those old wood stove lids were as thick as the entire stove surface but tapered inward along the edges and had a notch in them you lifted w/ handle shaped kind of like a shoe spoon. I never saw one with a handle like that. My Grandfather never had any other kind of stove.
Good luck.

Good point :icon_thumright:

Maybe a child's stove set (only decorative) or maybe the lid had two handles.
