I just came across this ad on Craigslist. I hope it is ok to copy and paste part of it here.
I have for sale a small lot of pre-1900 cast iron cookware. This cookware has the gate marks typically found on cast iron that was produced before 1900. There are two pots and two dutch oven / cauldron style pieces and a few lids. All the pieces look to be made by the same manufacturer, Boston Iron Works.
I can't Find out anything about BIW ever making any cast iron, and their website says they have been in business only about 100 yrs. Does anyone know anything about this company, or is this just someones ignorance, or maybe a scam?
