whether this jumbo pot cooked beans or potatoes on an old-time stove in a farmhouse or hung over a campfire somewhere out in cowboy country cooking some stew, this old pot holds plenty of good memories.
it's a gem! it features a rounded bottom and is so well-made.
if you love camping, this pot is perfect. for hunters or those who love fishing, the pot is still solid and ready to use for all kinds of outdoorsy jobs.
if you have a cabin, this pot would look right at home.
the pot could be scrubbed up and used today. or, it makes ideal farmhouse decor.
use this when camping to wash dishes and/or to scrub up yourself with some warmed up water.

-homeschoolers can trade off turns getting to store their favorite things in the pot for that day.
the pot features a pouring spout on one side. the pot has a sturdy, holed part on the opposite side. it could be used to hold onto when pouring the contents. it could be used to stick a wooden spoon through, handy for stirring. it could be used to hang the pot.
it features a handle made of metal, attached to the body with three heavy-duty rivets on each side. the handle shows an aged patina. the handle is rounded, with a straight, squared center. the handle will lock into different positions and stay put.
i cannot find any brand on the pot.
condition: vintage aluminum items will show scratches and color variations from usage and scrubbing, but this pot has no deep scratches or major damage. the inside shows some hard water stains and some rust-ish circles, but it has not affected the pot's integrity. the bottom shows only normal wear and tear. overall, the pot is in very good shape.
size: about 14" at full height with the handle up, with the pot's body about 7" tall and 12" across
i'm not sure its exact size capability, but am estimating it as a two-gallon pot.
some of the last photos show two vintage cooking pots. only the larger pot is available for the price shown here. the second, smaller cooking pot is shown nesting inside this pot to demonstrate sizes and styles.
vintage item, as-is, exactly as shown in the photos and offered here for a bargain price
