all seams holding tight

There is a bit of dust/soot on the glass

there is one spot of skipped glaze near the lip on one side

Honest Abe in Profile, 19th Century Cast Iron Lincoln Relief clouds all seams holding tightI've done a good bit of searching but can't find an exact likeness of this old iron Abe, or figure out exactly what purpose context he was made for; I would guess it was once one half of a whole, with a flip side to match. Whatever the case, definitely an old one, with great detail on the face, cast in relief, and with nice darkening to his cheek and brown and beard, in highest relief. 5 5 8" x 4 7 8" x 1 2". Good condition, nice patina, 19th century
