Cast Iron find

[Locotech]

My mother has lived in the same house for over 60 yrs. Was cleaning out the basement, and came across a nice old cast iron dutch oven. It used to be my dad's and I thought it was long gone. Cleaned it up and added to the collection. It's from and old Canadian foundry called Findlay, and they folded in the '70's.

Very nice find!!!
Is it flat-bottomed, or does it have feet?
Nice job on gettin' it all spruced up!!!

Well, Helllllo beautiful !!!! That is a great find. And it is in amazing condition. Many old homes are mines for awesome cast iron relics.

Any idea on the year of manufacture? Would you mind posting a few more pictures of it? (under the lid, underside of the oven or any other markings) Let me know if you want any help dating this piece. I love doing the research.

Spinaker, will post a couple more pics. Findlay was around for over 100 yrs, will be tough to nail down a date I think.

[Mr. Bones]

Yup, more pics would be jus' boffo!
Does it have any ghost marks???

[Locotech]

Mr. Bones....no ghost marks, will post pics with numbers.

[Locotech]

well guys, it has a flat bottom, and a serial number, will have to research a date. Was pretty rusty, but a soak in a electrolysis solution, then oiled and baked. Will post more pics
