A wrought iron early 19th century swivel bread toaster for use on a hearth.  Toaster handle is made in such a way as to allow the toaster to swivel around to change toasting sides and also allows the handle to swivel at the same time allowing the person doing the toasting to hold the handle from either direction.  Toaster rack measures 14" wide x 1 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" high.  Handle extends 25" overall from hinged front to back with a wooden handle at the end and an iron hanger hole.  The toaster itself is very tight and in very good condition.  The split and spread feet are shown in a close-up below right - showing one foot has been burned down and has deterioration although the toaster still stands on what is left quite well.

Cast iron Scotch bowl, circa 1890, by the Wm. Frankfurth Hardware Co.  This is their No. 3 size (their smallest) measuring 4 1/2" high overall with 10" diameter at the top and a 5" diameter base.  The original wire handle rises 5 1/2" above the top of the bowl.  This bowl is in very good condition and is relatively clean.  These bowls were made primarily for cooking Scotch porridge which must be stirred constantly to keep from burning.  The rounded bottom helped keep the contents from sticking and burning more quickly.  Also used for Scotch broth.

Rockingham pottery footed porridge bowl from the late 1800's.  Bowl measures 2 1/4" high overall x 6 1/2" diameter on the outside top edge and 4 1/4" diameter across the bottom slightly raised base.  Early three point firing marks are in place.  Bowl has scalloped style decoration around the top outside rim (similar to egg and dart) and offers wonderful variegation in color.  Piece has no cracks - and two small edge chips.  One is original in the making of the piece as it has the fired glaze over it and is part of the character of the bowl.  The second chip is on the top outer rim and is a newer chip about 1/2" x 1/4".  No other significant damage other than normal wear.
