American Colonial cast iron dutch oven: I am beginning our search for an American made, cast iron dutch oven, from Americas colonial period..up to and including 1780. We want one without hearth legs and it needs to be ‘usable’ as we intend to use it annually on the fourth of July for baking beans and service at out table. I need help finding one…any leads or offers for sale?

2 serving spoons
8 table knives

Hi,

I purchased this Lawson Company mirror from a thrift store and have been trying to learn more about the company and the possible value of the mirror.

From what I’ve read so far F.H. Lawson Co of Cincinnati was founded in 1816 and produced metal trash cans and garbage pails. This makes me more curious about the mirror, because it seems to be a leap from producing trash cans to large decorative mirrors.

Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You!
