Hey Folks
Found this today.
Needs Restoration which I will do no worries.
Getting tired of chem stripping iron holloware I gotta tell y'all
What's it called when it's flat bottom, fits in the stove but minus the ring?
Might be a rare one.
Thoughts Please?
Happy Sunday!

Boo No Picture
I don't know why it's turned. Better than none though right?

Looks like an "eccentric" bulge pot for use on a wood stove.

Rarity, desirability, and value depends on maker and condition particularly bottom and inside.  Can you post picture of bottom or of the branding mark, wherever it is?  Or both.

I have to ask... what do you mean when you say "chem stripping".. ?

[Jeff Keegan]

Chemical Stripping Spray Paint I meant.

Eccentric Bulge, yes That's the term I was looking for. Thanks!

Inside is pretty rough, needs attention, will hopefully get into it this week.

Here's a pic of the bottom
