A friend of mine found this in her Grandfather's Garage, and was wondering what it was used for. Any Ideas? It says ADVANCE MFG CO  ERIE PA  on the bottom, and is very heavy for it's size. Cleaning it right now. Approx 6" tall. Thanks

Looks like a lead melting pot used by plumbers in the old days when they poured molten lead in cast iron pipe joints.

Thanks for the info, I owe you all on this one, as I was planning to season it after it was clean so it wouldn't rust. That would have been great, lead vapors and such. Thanks,  Dwayne
