I have two of these cast iron water fountains, was going to have one hanging from a tripod
at camp so there was always hot water on hand, they are made by either Clarke and Co,
the other maker is Kendrick and sons. this one is 4 gallons

This is a water tank from a steam locomotive up Cairns way from around 1850.
The idea is to get it polished sell it to a hot rod guy or build a red gum table top
for it.

From days of olde these were the favoured camp oven,
They range in size from 1 gallon all the way up to 10gallon jobs,
the bigger ones are used for fire wood in older homes, adds a bit
of charm. Trouble with all these cast iron pots and pans is they are normally found
in wet barns and most will be pitted and have holes everywhere. My 2 gallon one
is hole free and will be going to camp once everything settles down. Just insert a
silver foil liner and away you go.

You have got some fantastic old stuff TD , instead of antique shop I'm thinking museum .
As for photos upside down no idea they are the right way up when I view them , for some reason apple and Microsoft just don't get along .
