Hare Leaf & Co. Civil War Era Cast Iron Kettle dated June 23rd, 1863 #5

My Aunt & Uncle actually bought an old plantation estate to restore in 1975, in Spartanburg S.C. It was used during the Civil War as a hospital/rest stop...I was playing on the property in one of the old barns around the summer of 1977 and found this partially exposed in the dirt, so I dug it up..Since it took me awhile to get it out they let me keep it.....As I remember back, there were many things they discovered on the property, that I wished I had!!!! it was a great adventure exploring the property and house...
