Picked this up at an estate sale. 4" tall and a little over 6" across. Pretty heavy for its size...8 pounds. Bottom is marked 6 IN 1 1501. Hoping someone knows maker.

Good pics. 6 IN says modern. Heavy says poor quality cast iron. Sloppy pattern and mold work says 3rd world country/import. Maker unknown. Description: bowl.

Looks like a lead melting pot. That is why it is so thick, to retain heat.

Agreed. I have one from Chicago Specialty Mfg. Co, looks just like that one except for the different maker's mark on the bottom. I had no idea what it was until I got it home. Needless to say, I'll never cook food in it given it's original purpose.
