I found this old ladle at a amish garage sale yesterday in sugarcreek ohio. Dont know much about it, or what it may be worth. Looks similar to a old cast iron smelting ladle used in a blacksmith shop. It has wrighting on inside handle. It says cusper 4 Going to clean it up, and use it as a soup ladle for the dutch oven.

I would think twice about using it for soup. Might have been used to smelt lead.
