I live North of the Mason Dixon , and I have one too!

(Bought it before I even knew what it was... One of my first purchases.. when the only criteria was - If it is Cast Iron, you will buy it!  ::) )

Definitely Red Mountain, with those wide pour spouts prior to WWII. General time-frame 1933, 34 to 1941-ish era. Nice pieces, like those pattern marks

Be warned that I plan on using y'all photos on our fb page this weekend for an object lesson. :)
