Metal Smelting Tools With Molded Stick

Updated August 23, 2026

This fascinating set features three tools likely used for metal smelting or casting. It includes a cast iron pot with a marked base, a solid metal ladle, and a metal ingot or stick mold bar. The pot's base bears the number '5,' while the metal bar is engraved with the text 'Bethlehem Steel,' hinting at its industrial history. The ladle appears sturdy and functional, with '25C' and other markings etched onto it. These are utilitarian relics that appear ready to transport you straight into the heart of an old workshop or foundry. Measuring against the ruler in the photos, these tools have just the right heft to spark serious interest and a race to bid.
