Found this at a new hunting spot yesterday. Black paint no help in assessing condition, but the price was too good not to take a chance. I could tell it was flat, the bail was bent but not soft, and it appeared the paint was over crud and rust, so it was a good bet it wasn't fire damaged. Doesn't appear pitted, and I think I can see polishing marks through the paint.
Lid is done, and the bail is fixed. No cracks in the iron, but a short one in the porcelain at the edge. More photos when it's done.
