They moved away already.Yeah, if there is a drilled hole, it's something the PO added. Why don't you ask him/her?
Yep. PO's girlfriend was doing some crafts next to it. It's not paint speckles, but it's tough stuff!View attachment 82947
The finish on this lid looks ( different ) is that just specks or something else?
Sorry for the late reply on this!I'm wondering if it's something to hang the lid on when it goes into the oven, after it's been sprayed with the porcelain enamel coating, to bake the porcelain on without leaving marks on the lid. Maybe they neglected to take it off after baking. Maybe @John Burns could weigh in here.
Thanks.Sorry for the late reply on this!
This definitely would have been something that the previous owner did. They probably wanted to hang food from the wire (sausages, ribs, chicken, fish, etc.).
We don't do anything like what's pictured as part of our manufacturing process. We use the lid damper holes to hang the lids for the enameling process. That's why if you look closely at the edge of the lid damper holes one of them should have minor depressions in the enamel from where hooks were used to hold it during handling. #iworkforweber
