Hi there,
Completely foreign to the world of cast iron collecting - so cool - and I need help figuring out a timeframe (or any info) for a cast iron pot I discovered forgotten under a shelf in a local historical shop.
The bottom has a faint "6" (or "9"?) stamped on the bottom, and there is a small raised "H" (slightly askew) on the underside of the lip. I've read a bit about these markings, but I'm wondering if anyone can help me determine a rough timeframe when a piece like this might have been made.
There are no other distinguishing markings. The piece is VERY heavy, and it looks like it was cared for (so far as I can tell).
Any help?
Thanks,
Jenny
