Gone But Not Forgotten
Here are two items which some may find interesting. Both are of cast iron and are family heirlooms.
One is a three legged cookpot that could be placed on the hearth of an open fireplace. Hot coals would then be placed around the pot for cooking. The pot could also be hung on a "crane" which was built into the fireplace, then suspended over the fire.
The other item belonged to my Grandfather who was a Civil War Veteran. I will give any who are interested in old things an opportunity to identiffy it and state its intended use. It is 12 inches high and weighs about 40 pounds.
