    Description

    We are pleased to offer a very EARLY Decorated UNIQUE Primitive Piece from our collection.  A long handled Decorated Pot Lifter.  As pots sat in the hot coals, their bales got extremely hot.  Consequently, the Pot Lifters were a necessity to remove pots from the hot hearth.  This Lifter is RARE and UNIQUE in design with twist decoration in the handle and hanging loop.  Pot Lifters don't come up for auction that often.
    The condition is Wonderful, and the surface shows very nice patina.
    It is in UNTOUCHED condition - NO restoration or repairs.  Just a wonderful early example.
    A must have one of a kind addition to your collection!
    It measures 15 1/2" Long.

    Over the next few months we will be listing numerous rare and unusual Early American hearth utensils as we downsize our collection of the last 50 years.  If you enjoy collecting early iron, please add us to your saved sellers' list.  I promise you won't be disappointed.  I am not a pro at taking photos.  So please if you don't see a specific feature, please ask us for additional photos, since the photos are part of the description.  Thank you for looking.
    Shipping is normally USPS Parcel Ground.  We, also, made USPS priority shipping available, if you would prefer priority.
    If you prefer other shipping options/carriers, please advise prior to payment.  We are very flexible.  We may need to substitute UPS/FedEx Groun for USPS Parcel Ground at the time of shipment, because it may be faster delivery or various other reasons.  Please let us know, if you have an issue with the UPS/FedEx Ground substitution.   Thank you.
