Copper sauce pan. Note on back of picture: "The use of copper objects over an open fire is a phenomena which is not easily understood. It seems that the vessel had to be polished after each after each use in the fireplace. Such attention may have been warranted, however, for a bright pot among the many dark iron ones must have been a very pleasant sight." Courtesy Dauphin County Historical Society.

A charming copper sauce pan, displayed in the Rockford-Kauffman Museum in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There seems to be a scarcity of sauce pans in copper and silver. This one has a handle turned from a piece of curly maple wood.
