Notes

Inside has discoloration from oxydizing Very fragile lower portion-which most is missing Rim and handle are rusted Handle is probably iron since it is rusting and not turning a green shade Bottom half is so fragile the pieces of the pot would tear off if touched Bolts are still intact and the handle still moves with ease
