A Rusty Old Cauldron Perfect For Halloween

No shopping at the Halloween Store for me. I try to finds things that are a bit more authentic. Didn't find any hum skeletons so this will have to do.
Not exactly sure what this was originally used for. Looks like it was a great big stew pot. It has a lip on one side on the center. And I have no clue. It is about 17" wide which is a bit over a foot and a half.
It does make a fine place for my blow mold jack-o-lantern. It's a bit windy here so hopefully he will stay put. The winds are not as bad here as predicted.
