Thomas Clark Cast Iron Porringer

A neighbor had a friend give him this. The friend didn't know what it was... he picked it up while traveling through Florida or Georgia, apparently. Neighbor asked if I could identify it (there are actually two... one just like this, and one smaller and cruder)


Thomas Clark Cast Iron Porringer c. 1839-1870

I found another one on eBay, complete with original tin lid, that sold for $125.

That is the same pan on both sites. Look at the stains and rust marks.

Yeah, I know it appears that way... the images go with the first link, not with my eBay reference. They were hot-linked images. I guess Doug changed them to links. Those image links are redundant.

The larger of the two bowls perfectly matches the one in the 1st link even to crackles and stains.
