Finding one piece from Superior Foundry is hard. Finding two is what happens when you know what to look for. This melting scoop carries the same Cleveland mark as the miniature bowl — and its original working patina tells the story of a tool that actually melted metal in a Cleveland workshop.
A complete, unrestored cast iron glue melting pot from Fanner Mfg. Co. of Cleveland, Ohio — founded 1891, acquired by Textron 1958. Double-walled water-jacket construction with original hinged lid featuring ornate circular relief face and raised manufacturer lettering, original D-ring loop handle, original bail hinge, and matching outer vessel. All components present and original. SSC Catalog No. SSC-FANNER-GLUEPOT-c1900-001.
