Erie Wax Ladle - Circa: 1890-1910
« on: February 02, 2010, 12:31:44 AM »
Hey Guys and Gals,
   Looking for a few opinions. I picked this up and it was in pretty rough shape. It was pretty gummed up and rusted over, however the seller had obviously used a wire wheel to check for markings on the bottom and damaged it a lil' more than needed. However, it cleaned up really nicely and you can see "ERIE" marked on the bottom and it appears to me to be authentic to me from what I can tell in the Blue Book, It's just worn alot. I'm looking for some opinions as I was rather excited to find such an item that you don't see every often. It does show its age however, I want some opinions on authenticity as I'm not aware of reproductions of these, so I turn to the experts, let me know what you think!!    ;D

Can you see a pattern number on it??  It has a much larger reinforcing where the handle connects than the ones I've seen. Don't of any repros of these. You're right tho it's had a rough life.. Heres a pic of mine to PN and handle reinforcing....
