    I think i may have found something extreme rare. A wrought iron pestle and mortar with two lose ring around it. I have never heard of one let alone seen one. What is your opinion guys? It has a stamp on it, don't know what? IMG_20241123_135527335.jpg IMG_20241123_135609148.jpg IMG_20241123_135834300.jpg

    I have seen quite a few iron mortar and pestle pieces - typically 19th or earlier. Super cool. Some say they were recycled from cannon pieces, war pieces, etc. Never seen one marked. I love how rustic it is!

    Yes i have seen also allot of cast iron mortars but this one is wrought iron and that means it is made up of iron sheets forget together. That and also the mark on it make it pretty rare. Because i have never seen one or heard from it.

    What a great looking thing. Just oozes age and character. And with that mark is just seems really special. I really like it plenty! Great find Hunt! I really hope we learn more…
