We attended a Halloween party recently , and these cauldrons were part of the table settings. When I finally get my collection out of storage, my Civil War guys, especially will be keeping warm with plenty of soup! I got a jar of jam that had this cloth on the cover; and it’s a decent little tablecloth.

I have one of those pots I got some time ago, don't remember where, but I'm sure it was at Halloween.
I really like the cup, I've been looking for a coffee pot and cup to go with my Ernie Pyle figure.

The cup is from the Sideshow Civil War line; and I think BBi made a mug for a few of their WWII Brit’s. There were a few vintage era cup and coffee pots. I think Marx made a few for their Western figures. The Empire Chuck wagon jeep had a coffee pot as well, I believe. Here’s what the Marx set looks like. Came in either brown or silver. Not my picture. I’ve seen a KO in green that looks like they copied the Marx mold.
Battlegear toys makes a nice looking coffee pot too.

Thanks for the link Nate. I actually have one of the Marx on Ebay bookmarked, pot, cup and pan. Finding a silver version of the Marx would be great, but I think it came with either one or two figures so they are harder to find. The brown ones are a lot easier to find. The reason I've looked at getting them is the Ernie Pyle figure comes with a "hot plate/heater." It's made to hold a coffee pot, but the set didn't have one. I figure if I get the pot, I would need a cup to go with it.

The Ernie Pyle figure was great. Used to have it; sold it about a decade ago. Many guys bought it just for the typewriter and jeep cap. Should have held on to it. Oh, well.
