I have been looking at this piece, I and just not feeling it. It says Erie on it but it is very poorly marked and upside down from the 7. Am I missing something?Any help would be great.
Looks a lot like a smelting pot. plumbers used them to melt lead to pour around cast iron joints in sewer pipes. Electricians used to twist wires together and take a ladle of melted lead out of a pot like this and go around and dip the wire joints into the lead and then wrap with rubber or tar paper tape.
I think it’s a melting pot made by Hollands Manufacturing Company in Erie, Pennsylvania. I’ve seen these in the wild, although they usually at least have the word Hollands on them. Interesting tidbit linking them to Griswold: http://www.vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=11509
