![]() Anyone has any idea who could have produced this one? https://imgur.com/a/lQzIVxh I inherited this one from my grandma (was stored in a cupboard on the attic) and I'm planning to restore it. Haven't had much experience with cast-iron this old, so any advice is welcome here as well. My first idea would be to give it a proper Lye bath, but if you have better suggestions, I'm all ears... Hope someone will recognise the logo at the bottom, so I can learn more about it's history! Many thanks, Mark Last edited by MPoel; 03-02-2021 at 07:51 AM. Reason: Image links not working |

Doesn't look to be in any real need of restoration. As to identification, if it was of US origin, there might be a chance someone in a US-based group might be familiar with the marking, but even then chances would be slim. It's interesting in that there appears to be a marking at 12 o'clock on the bottom that's been obscured.

I've seen that diamond L identified as John Law from Glasgow scotland.
I think I saw the details in the facebook group (the iron works! collectors of early iron!' http://www.glasgowwestaddress.co.uk/..._John_&_Co.htm Last edited by D_Madden; 03-04-2021 at 12:58 AM. |

Thanks guys!! Very much appreciated!
I'll try to dive into the John Law clue. Hopefully there's some more info around... Geographically this could fit the picture, as my great grandfather has UK roots. @SeanD: I was also intrigued by the obscured markings at 12 o'clock, and was hoping that cleaning it would help to reveal them, but judging by your reply, maybe that's wishful thinking? Or are there any tricks I could try to make them readable again? |
