Hi Kevin.  I suspect that what you may be looking at is "granite ware"
which were actually metal containers overlain with enamel, hence the alternate
name "enamel ware".  There is a book out on this material called
"Graniteware: Identification and Value Guide" by Fred and Rose Booher.  Published
by Collector Books, Paducah, Ky. 1977.
