Auction Find

[RJ Ruchti]

Was at an auction of a bunch of Antiques and farm primitives. Picked up a Wagner and Griswold Corn bread pans and a couple kettles. One is a lodge 3 gal from the lid markings, the other has not been identified as yet. Sharp numbers about 3/4" high, the number 7 is more on the script line and with a small G following. This kettle is about a 2 gal size. Both are in good condition. I need to find a better way to take photos without getting a glare from window or room lights. Photos are of the 2 gal kettle.

The lid is definitely Lodge, and the kettle looks like their round bottom straight kettle which was still being made as late as the early 2000s in a #7 (4½ qt) and #8 (6½ qt). Are there any markings on the bottom of the pot?

Cannot see any marking at all on the bottom of the pot. I only cleaned it with soap and water so possibly something that I am not seen yet. From a couple hours looking at photos on the net it looks like a bean pot or a yard kettle? Thanks Doug. Much appreciated.
