Do any of you know what these were used for? Janice

The one on the left looks like something that was used to melt lead in, as to musket balls or whatever, and the one on the right, I don't know but if its possible I would like to see a closeup of the business end of it.

That makes sense that it would have something to do with musketballs etc. as it was hanging by the reloading tools. You are being a very bad influence on Janice, she is sending me to another auction sale on Saturday just to look for more cast iron. Julie

The little one looks like some kind of scraping device or tool to work inside the other one, with the curved sides and all, like to stir or move around the lead as it is melting, certainly just another guess.

Your guess is probably right though. Julie says you can go to the auction sale as long as she can use your checkbook. Janice

Nothing like a woman fast on her feet, sounds like a good deal for both of us.

I sure do enjoy an auction-especially if I'm using someone else's checkbook. Julie
