2. Bingo on number 1.
Number 2 is the bottom of a copper kettle used for apple butter making.

3. Great. There was a covered bridge on my mail route many years ago.
I've made apple butter, but never had a copper pot.

4. Covered bridge I guessed but never
would of got the copper pot. I've only seen apple butter made in big cast iron pots over an open flame. Between the bridge and apple butter almost wonder how far you are from Fair Hill, MD.:)


I'll have to try to find a photo of them cooking in the iron pot.

5. I live in southwest Virginia.
My sister and her husband have an apple butter making party each fall. The copper kettle belongs to them.

I've never seen it done in a cast iron pot.

8. Not too far away. I will have to find

a picture. I call it a pot might be a big kettle. They have an apple butter festival every fall. They sell jars of it when it is made. Yummy. They also make the best vegetable soup in a big iron kettle inside over an open flame in the fireplace.



Not my photos but a good one of the pot in use can be found here http://www.flickr.com/photos/vandyll/2951931853/in/photostream/
and a black and white if it works...



Edited to add- take it back these are copper too. (I'm not the cook. lol) What I get for listening to other non cooks.
