Going through some family items - it appears I have an 8 Gallon Pocasset Cauldron. Can someone help with value etc?
 
Thanks for your response. Do these pics help? It's been holding throw blankets for 40 years!

Don't have a lot of research data "books" but what few I do have would indicate your piece was probably made between 1860-1880 based entirely on the pot ears. Pocasset Iron Works made a lot of tea kettles around the same time which were wrought iron using two-part molding. Suspect your piece is maybe the same type process.
Value....Who knows for sure. I've seen similar ones of that type and shape listed for hundreds of dollars. What it's worth to a buyer would depend on many variables. What's is worth to you to sell, again depends on how bad you want to sell it.
Sorry I don't have any concrete data for it.
