So it's old...

calldoctoday This is my coffee cup, I have had it for over 35 years, it might get washed once a year, just rinsed or wiped out the rest of the time. I always worry that I will drop it sometime and break it. Notice the company on it, they are long gone and the brewery is now on the National register of historic places and only 30 miles from me. I visited it regularly to get free beer.

Drank some myself back in the day. Was cheaper than a 12pk of Coke.
One mug I have got chipped somehow, had to retire it, not to the trash, but to a display case. Just can’t get rid of a gift I guess, especially when it has meaning. -


I inherited two of these from my grandmother but this one is in good condition. They used these for steam canning back in the day. The original patent is 1907 and they were built for twenty some years. Certainly a depression era appliance. I’m excited to do some cooking on this on top of a wood burning stove. The bottom is copper and the body is a heavy tin with a double walled door.
Water can be added without opening it up via a funnel up top and the funnel will whistle when getting low on water. It can be used to can or steam food or just to create a stove top oven.

RafterW very nice I can’t wait to hear about your first cook on it.
