Primitive Rustic Antique Blacksmith Smelting Ladle Nice Patina
Smelting Ladle Double Pour spout Metal Forge Crucible Unmarked Blacksmith Hand Made Metallurgical Old Salvage
This very old hand made crucible was used in a forge to handle molten metals. Most of the industrial ladles I've had are unmarked, as is this one. Almost certainly hand made by a blacksmith, and the bowl sure shows signs of use and wear. This has developed a lovely patina with superficial rust, wear, and a history of honest hard work. Probably from the early 1900s, and this quite possibly could be older. Found at a estate sale in the hills of north western Pennsylvania.
This vintage ladle is a must-have for any blacksmith or collector of tools and hardware. This ladle is perfect for pouring molten metal in a foundry or forge setting. It features a long handle for easy pouring.
This ladle is a great addition to any blacksmith's workshop or collection of vintage tools.
Approx. 15" long
bowl dia. 3.25"
