Vintage American Iron Mountain Cast Iron Number 8 Dutch Oven with Bail Handle, no lid - A vintage American cast iron Dutch oven featuring a rounded body and a flat base. The vessel is constructed with two integral side ears that accommodate a steel wire bail handle. The underside of the base is embossed with the number 10, indicating the size, and a smaller letter A, likely a mold or series mark. This specific marking convention and form are highly characteristic of unmarked cookware produced by major American foundries, such as the Wagner Manufacturing Company, during the early 20th century. The piece is being offered without a lid. The exterior surface shows a dark, seasoned patina typical of historical use over a stove or open fire. Base diameter: 8.75 inches Top diameter: 10.5 inches.
