Hey guys, I came across this old cauldron in my area on an internet yardsale site. The guy says its about 200 years old and is 1 foot and 1/2 tall. Weighs about 40 lbs as well. I'mthinking I may be able to get it for 50 bucks. I'm thinking this would be really awsome for a new witch prop. I'll post a pic. Any suggestions? ThoughtS? Think I should get it?

For 50 bucks I'd get it, I would say well worth it. I put a mister in mine to get that foggy look. It comes with lights ,which add to the effect.

A quick search on eBay tells me it looks to be the right era, and you're getting a good deal for $50.

 

[Warrant2000]

Oh yea, definately get that one!

Thats an awesome cauldron, I wouldn't pass that up.

I'd jump at the chance to own this one at that price (even if my wife tells me I can't put witches in a graveyard as it's hallowed ground)!

My friends mother has one in her front yard that I have been trying to get for years. He said its cracked in the middle. His grandmother had it in their front yard. I don't know how old it is. His mothers doesn't look that cool though.

Thanks for the input. I'm picking it up tomorow morning!! yay!!

 

[Frankie's Girl]

I wouldn't even care if it was that old - I'd totally buy that for $50. Great deal!

Very cool looking will sure beat the heck out of the plastic ones. i also would pay $50 if i had it right now.

Can't wait to see pics this halloween with what you do with it.

great cauldron, I would love to have it, I agree with kprimm, it will look so much better than the plastic(which I sadly have, tried to fix it up, but, well, it's still plastic!)

 

[HoflyLoster]

I bought it this morning, and yes, it looks so much better than the plastic ones.
Theres not a crack or a hole in it. Its in pretty good shape for the age of it. I'll
have to post some more pics of it later on. Now I guess I really have to finish
molding my static witch head!

Oh, and thanks for all the feedback!

 

[MHooch]

Great find, good for you!! Will really lend an air of authenticity to whatever scene you put it in.

 

[Samhain.Voodoo]

oh god you're so lucky. 50 bucks is a steal for something that beautiful. I've been looking for one for actual practices but nothing in my area. Great find, definately show us what you do with it, thanks for posting!

That is an awesome find! I would love to know the history behind it. Did they tell you anything about it? Sorry - my inner history geek is fighting to get out right now!

I am with Madame Leota. OOOOO what kind of story is behind that wonderful piece? Witchy woman or just plain jane and her farm family.
Sorry late on posting, but that is a nice piece to find and will be wonderful with you static witch your building.

I'm glad that you got it vs someone turning it in for scrap metal.
