ANTIQUE COPPER COOKWARE

 

I RECENTLY PURCHASED 5 COPPER PIECES:

1 5-QUART POT LOOKS HAND MADE COPPER RIVETS CAST IRON HALF CIRCLE HANDLE
1 LADLE ALL COPPER APPEARS TO BE HAND MADE FROM ONE SOLID PIECE OF COPPER
1 10" dia. SAUCE PAN " IRON LOOP HANDLES COPPER RIVETS
1 10" dia. PAN (SHALLOW) 26" IRON HANDLE LOOP @ END

THE COPPER WRAPS AROUND WROUGHT IRON FRAMES. NO MARKS. LOOK MACHINE MADE. ALL ARE TIN LINED. WHAT DO I HAVE HERE?

Hi, John. This is a metal finishing site; we are not an appraisal/valuation site nor a hallmarking or history site. So when you ask us "what do I have here", but you've already told us what you have in terms of metals and their finishes, there's nothing for us to add :-)

If you ask us how to refinish it, or some questions about how to care for it -- that's the kind of stuff we might be able to help you with :-)

Good luck and regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
