Makers Label

This is the manufactures mark, cast into the surface of a cast iron cooking pot. It is 2 and half inches across, hence the tight crop.

Originally, the logo would have been pressed into the surface of a sand mould into which molten iron was cast.

This pot turned un in the back of a building I was clearing and after an hour with a wire brush and a tin of graphite based Grate Black it now looks splendid.

Archibald Kendrick & Sons set up as Iron Founders in 1791 and are still in operation in West Bromwich.
