Title: Pot legs . . . Post by: Neil on December 06, 2008, 12:36:05 PM I seem to find one of these every few months and I got to be honest I quite like finding them, although I am still waiting for one with the pot attached! ;D
Here four posted below - all made of bronze (I do have one lead one somewhere). Any idea on the ages of them? Also heres a photo of how they should look in situ. Cheers Neil Title: Re: Pot legs . . . Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on December 06, 2008, 05:57:28 PM Hi Neil
They seem to be everywhere but never find the others ? just the one never a full set or the pot/Cauldren The must have used the Pot with legs missing. Like that girl off Flash dance they cant have been real welders lol brazing in them days couldnt have been up to much. ;D Title: Re: Pot legs . . .
