    Went to a local auction Saturday. Wife had to have this copper cauldron. Wasn't exactly thrilled until my buddy said we'll be making apple butter with it this fall....all about it now. 20220409_134855.jpg 20220409_134953.jpg 20220409_135009.jpg

    Yeah very heavy and old to boot. I started pricing them on the web and didn't feel as bad as when she ran it up to the final bid.

    They had 2 cast iron that size that some lady paid 350 a piece for. Probably going to fill them with dirt and flowers to rot the bottoms :headbang:

    What I'd like know is.... how much did the caldron cost, versus much is a "song" when talking fishing lures? :whistle:
    Btw, that's a cool copper pot.

    My grandparents had one like that...actually, I remember it being larger, that they made apple butter in it when I was a kid...rumor has it that after grandpa passed one of my "ne'er-do-well" cousins (or one of his dirt bag buddies) made off with it...for scrap!

    I doubt you'll make apple butter in it but still a nice find.

    04 I believe. Just needs buttoned up. Rebuilt the carb. Needs battery, tires, and plastic put back on.

    Good. I don't like the stuff but my wife loved it. She always cooked it on the wood stove. I don't remember if the picture was making apple sauce or apple butter.
