Note Also That The 2 Substantially Made Side Handles are Completely Hand Wrought with Complicated Hollow Construction - Obviously the Work of a Master Blacksmith. NOTE! - That the Center - Underside of the Bottom Panel is Also Hot Iron Branded with a Mark that I Could Not Decipher but I Am Quite Sure That it is a Registered Assayer and Possibly Makers Mark - See The Last - 12 Photograph. Original Origin Most Likely England. Condition Can Best be Seen in The Photographs. It is Been Used Extensively Over the Years and The Wood Surfaces are Quite Weathered Etc. Giving it a Wonderful Authentic Old Rustic Look and Patina that Cannot be Duplicated. There is Some Age and Use Related Wood Loss on The Base - Bottom Rim Perimeter.
