Cast Iron Pot

Hello All, I need a little help. I have a cast iron pot that was my moms and it was her moms. But it has the markings of 20 in it or I think it’s 20 or 29. Can someone tell me how old it is and what it’s worth might be? I have pics of it. I think it’s a 20gallon what I like to call a witches pot. Any help would be appreciated. In advance Thank you

Pots in that condition will sell for $250-$300 in my area. Clean it up and cook a big pot of beans or chili in it this fall.
 
The asking prices for these in my area vary greatly. I’ve seen them advertised for up to $900. But if you patiently wait you can come across a great deal. I have one that is about a size 30 that I paid $130. It is in great shape. I bought it when I didn’t have as much experience with shopping for cast iron. I recently purchased a #15 for $60. It’s in great shape. I would say that if a person does their homework and takes their time, that there are fair deals on them out there and there is occasionally a great deal on one. But if you rush into a deal you could be paying too much for a rusted out piece.
