Bean Pot

[D_Mader]

I am new to the forum and wondering if someone could help me identify this bean pot. There are no markings except for the gate on the bottom. The pot is 11 1/2 inches at the top and 8 inches deep.

Any help would be appreciated.

I doubt anyone can pinpoint the manufacturer, if they do I'm all ears. I have one like yours with the offset bottom, but mine has an 8 9 on the bottom and no gate mark, has an area on the bottom I think is a sprue mark. Odd thing is mine isn't perfectly round at the top (oval) I went on a mini vacation a month ago and saw lots of bean pots. I think every Antique Store/Mall in central North Carolina had at least one. I have another one that I got lucky and picked up a camp oven lid that fits on it, so I'll put it to use when I go camping. Good luck on the identification.
