Picked up a coffee pot, boiling pot, tin plate and wash basin from Bob's Backwoods Tin the other day.

Add about two weeks to the promised delivery date.  Don't get me wrong as I'm not complaining, this is quality stuff but you can tell Bob is perfectionist.  I just ordered some dried edibles for the upcoming hunting season where I'll be using these items to cook meals in.

I got the "corn boiler" pot which holds 6 cups at 5 1/2 X 4 1/2.  The coffee pot is the small size at 4 cups.

Nice.  I ordered that same one and the small corn boiler which holds 3 1/2 cups.

I already have a 24 cup coffee pot and a 1 gallon boiler.

Wow!  You either like your coffee or are cooking for a troop of boy scouts.

I have a few of Bob boilers and cups... wouldn't trade them for anything.

Really like the insulated mug.

Might anyone know if copper or tin plate would have been more common in the 1760's and 1770's?
