What is this copper bowl?

It's A Trap! · Aug 18, 2017

I found this along a creek which was next to what was a trolley line from 1890 to 1940. There was a bar/lounge 200 yards away that operated from the 1900s to 1960s.

At first I thought it was a small soup bowl but as I was cleaning it I noticed 3 marks on the bottom and then 3 holes on the lip. I don't see any markers mark stamped on the bottom. It is 2 1/4 inches tall and about 3 1/2 inches wide measuring the lip

You can see the 3 holes in this picture

Could be a spittoon .

I guess it had three legs once.
Perhaps it was a small flowerpot?

Small hanging flower pot, definitely not a spittoon .

Chamber Pot converted to hanging flower pot......pre-fertilized.

That would be one teensy weensy chamber pot ... I think you're right that it's converted, but it was probably originally just a little decorative footed bowl.

Looks like the cap from the center of a wheel hub.

Kiddie pot, I remember us having one.

Ok, so the verdict is that it is either a flower pot or a chamber pot :laughing:

At least I know it is nothing special. Into the scrap bucket it goes.

Thank you everyone for your help!

By the way, this showed up as a solid 99 on my at pro
