Greetings all,
I have a cast iron kettle leg question. I remember having or seeing a
paper that identified date ranges for kettle legs based on the shape of
their cross-sections. Does anyone know of a source for such information
or any other way to date kettle legs? The leg is about 7cm long with a
"D" cross-section, and the top of the leg is ballooned out with fluting.
The foot is also expanded. It is from a 1680 to 1703 period site. Any
help would be appreciated. Thanks!
