[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 37163, member: 50"]I do find copper pots confusing and I guess others have too. There seems to be a lot of variation in what people say the age of their pieces are and maybe it goes with the nature of hand made. My pot has been used quite a lot as much of the tin lining is wearing away but you can use a pot a lot in a few years especially if you stick it over a fire. It seems of better quality than some of the copper I've had from Turkey(?) but hand made items can vary hugely in quality. I just weighed it and it's about 3½ lbs. so I must have been feeling especially weak yesterday. It's still pretty heavy for cooking in. There are lots of re-enactors in this area. I wonder if this might have been a camp prop for some Civil War buffs.[/QUOTE]
