    Today I found this copper item at an old barn sale. What I know about it is: It is hand hammered, it has tongue and groove seams on sides and bottom, it has had a lot of use, it's old. What I would love to know is how old is it? Where was it made? What was it used for? It measures appx 7 3/4 inches in width, 5 1/2 inches in height not including handle and with handle up it is appx 9 1/2 inches in height. Thank you for any and all help! Patti
