A beautiful and rare antique circa 1920-30s copper pot with iron handle and hand-applied tin lining from the steamship SS Leviathan. Over the years we've had a number of silver pieces from this ship, but this is the first piece of copper we've ever encountered! Excellent antique condition, small signs of age and use in the way of small marks and surface scratches, but no big dents or damage. Marked on the front with the iconic Leviathan eagle crest, along with "Bramhall Deane Co New York" and "2 Qts." This pot has been newly polished and retinned it so it is ready for use! 

Measures 6.25” wide by 4.25” high, nearly nearly 13.75“ long including handle; this heavy hotel or commercial weight pot weighs 4 pounds empty. The rim measures 3mm wide with slight variation.

The Leviathan was built as the Vaterland for Germany’s Hamburg-American Line.
The ship had crossed the Atlantic only seven times when war broke out in Europe in 1914.
She was laid up for safekeeping at her pier in Hoboken, New Jersey, but when the United States entered World War I in 1917,
the American government seized the Vaterland and converted her into a troopship.
Renamed Leviathan on the suggestion of President Woodrow Wilson and operated by the navy, she carried 94,000 troops to France,
one-sixth the total American deployment in Europe.
Subsequently sold into private hands, the ship ran until 1933.
High operating costs and low passenger numbers during the Depression led to the Leviathan being laid up in New York Harbor (again) until 1938,
when she sailed to Scotland and was scrapped.
