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.  [img width=480 height=640]http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/vagov1/2015-02/02BE3241-C5DD-4995-A3C0-CC09A176FDF6.jpg[/img] [img width=480 height=640]http://i1167.photobucket.com/albums/q622/vagov1/2015-02/55E65609-24BE-4DAC-A077-69458F6ABA9C.jpg[/img]
