Can anyone make out this foundry name?
« on: August 27, 2016, 03:41:47 PM »
I have tried but nothing is coming up on it. It's on an old 8 or 10 gallon stew pot. The words I know for sure is the second line says WARE and the bottom line says STOVE Thanks

That's pretty neat Rick. I don't know what it says either but I like it. If you have the piece can you post the whole piece, I'd like to see it if it's not too much trouble.  :)

Rick I think we need Vanna White and Pat Sajak here to help us. Where are the girls on here? They are usually good on this kind of stuff.  :-/

[size=12]Something, HOL (next line) WARE, which probably stands for whatever that foundry called their line of Hollow ware, a.k.a cast iron cookware.

I'd guess that the completely illegible line between WARE and TROY is the name, likely abbreviated, of the foundry.[/size]

I think more important to IDing it is the shape where the printing is. Anyone know any foundries that had a shield type logo?
