Help ID kettle

[ReidPBernard]

Recently obtained this kettle but old owners didn't have any info on it other than their dad used it a lot when they were little.
Measures 25" across and 15" deep. 2 and 5 marked on bottom.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that the "25" would refer to the volume, about 25 gallons based on your measurements.
The absence of a gate mark may indicate that it is from the 1900's.
Pictures of the sides, and handles might help with ID.

Hi, I am seeing 2.5. Any photos of the sides, looking for mold lines and side gate marks.

Here is a pic of the side. Definitely looks like two pours. The line goes all the way around. Didn't see any other marks.
In between the 2 and 5 does look like a dot.
Thanks.

Can you take a photo of the whole kettle Top to Bottom, Handle ears, and shape of the legs.
If there is no gate mark on the bottom, most likely made after 1900+ The ears and legs help with dating also how many mold lines. Most likely will not be able to put a foundry name with your kettle.

Photo like this please.

Another shot. Hopefully this helps.
