smallish old cast iron kettle

Recovered recently from a soon-to-be trashpile where, at best, it'd have likely ended up in the back of a late nite "scrapper's" beat up truck on its way to oblivion. <nonono!>

It is a smallish (I think?) cast iron kettle with a bail and 3 small legs on its rounded bottom. It measures about 8" tall and 10" across and its only marking is the number 8 cast into its bottom.

Other than that I know absolutely nothing about it...mebbe it'll look fun if I find someplace to hang it outside with a pretty plant in it, once springtime comes around here again...?? :-) :-) :-)

-----------------EDIT, a week after original showing------------------

HAPPY HAPPY -- today while visiting a local Goodwill, I found a cast iron *lid* that fits this pot rather perfectly!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
