The picture of the rusting bean pot reminds me pot of beans cookin' over a campfire.

Today, the bean pot warms in the morning sun at the El Dorado County Historical Museum in Placerville, California, never to be used again. It won't hold any more beans.

I looked for missing piece this morning at the museum, but couldn't find it. I'd be a nice pot if you could weld the broken piece back onto the pot.

A flower pot is about the only use you'll get out it now.

This pot and many other surplus items will be sold at a museum yard sale in August. I'll post more information on the sale when it's released.
