STORAGE TIN SQUARE
Tins are just the best. I use them for everything. Home, work or in the field. Anything that needs to be kept safe, dry and mouse proof requires a tin. They are perfect just as they are but if you're crafty try giving one several coats of gloss black paint for a laquered look, or use gun bluing or browning for a great finish. Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
This little square tin stands 2 1/2 inches tall and is 1 3/4 square. That will hold enough coffee for a standard pot of coffee or 2 pots of tea. Great for spices, sewing kits or your meds.

Tins are just the best. I use them for everything. Home, work or in the field. Anything that needs to be kept safe, dry and mouse proof requires a tin. They are perfect just as they are but if you're crafty try giving one several coats of gloss black paint for a laquered look, or use gun bluing or browning for a great finish. Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
This oval tin stands 5 1/2 inches tall and is 2 1/2 at it's thickest point. I'm guessing here but I'd say it will hold close to two cups of dry measure. That's enough flour for a pan of buiscuts or a very large stack of pancakes.

TEA TIN TRADITIONAL STYLE
Tins are just the best. I use them for everything. Home, work or in the field. Anything that needs to be kept safe, dry and mouse proof requires a tin. They are perfect just as they are but if you're crafty try giving one several coats of gloss black paint for a laquered look, or use gun bluing or browning for a great finish. Plain, blued or laquered are all period correct.
This tin is the traditional style for tea. It has the standard cap that you see in the photo with another inner cap to keep the inside as dry as a powder house. It stands 5 1/2 inches tall and is 4 inches across at it's thickest point. Again I'm guessing but it looks like it will hold a little over 2 cups of dry measure. Tea, coffee, beans or rice. What ever you decide to put in there it will stay safe and dry. Stale? no way. With this seal oyster crackers would be good for months.

WASH PAN
Our large wash pan stands 3 inches tall and is 14.5 inches across. The perfect compromise between volume and transportability. Perfect for that morning wash/shave/etc. or cleaning all that mess gear that somehow you always get stuck with.
Made from durable stainless steel that will not rust but it has been treated with a "brushed" finish to mimic the look of tin. Best of both worlds.

TRIPOD
Not your ordianary tripod. This clever little item can pull a double shift. Sure it's a great tripod that completely disassembles for easy transport but - it can also double as a cookset by driving two pieced into the ground and use the third as a cross bar. I wish I had thought of that. It's a little hard to explain but there are more photos and probably a video to come soon.
Chain, S hooks and pot are not included.

This may be the most useful item in any camp. Regardless of whether you cook a little of a lot this will make the job so much easier. It's strong, well made and folds flat for easy transport. It works just as well on a large stone hearth.

Hand forged standing iron trivets. If you need a little extra cooking area this may be just the thing. This standing iron trivet holds one large coffee pot or your typical skillet, even a dutch oven will fit just fine. Then just scoop those hot coals from the fire place putting them underneath the trivet and you're on your way. Works great for just keeping things warm too. One of these will let you set that coffee pot off to the side so you have more room cook and still keep everything warm.
Our trivets are 8 inches across and stand a full 6 inches tall. The handle lets you move it where ever you need it without burning your hands.

IRON SKILLET W FOLDING HANDLE
When the amount of space you have is limited every little bit helps. This clever little iron skillet's handle folds neatly inside the pan making it much easier to transport. When folded it measures only 9 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches deep. One of the best features is that the handle is hollow, further reducing weight but also allowing you to insert a stick to lengthen the handle, thus saving your knuckle hairs from certain extinction.

TRUNK / CHEST
Is it a trunk or is it a chest? If you travel with it, it's a trunk. If it sits at the foot of your cot it's a chest. Regardless of what you call it, it's a great little piece of camp furniture. It holds lots of gear, use it to store all of your mess equipment in one place or it can easily carry 2 full changes of clothes and all your personal items keeping everything well organized.
Our trunks are made of 100% Tennessee yellow poplar that has been air dried for 6 months and planed on site before being assembled. They are expertly hand crafted by a local family that does nothing but wood work. It comes with a smooth dry finish that can be stained, painted or oiled. Leaving it just as it is works too. The small "drawer" (as seen in the photo) slides on a rail from one side of the trunk to the other making access to the bottom much easier. They measure 24 inches X 15 inches by 10 inches deep.

SPATULA & FORK
Cooking over a campfire can be a difficult job but the one thing that makes it much easier is the right tools. Such as a meat fork that's long enough to reach the fire without you sticking your face in the smoke. As well as a spatula that is heavy enough to stay where you put it without sliding up, down or all around and that's exactly what we have here.
Our meat fork is approx. 26 inches long. Great for turning steaks, chops or chicken but works just as well for cooking hot dogs and marsh mellows.
Our statula has a typical size head so it fits any skillet or griddle easily and the 17 inch long iron handle stays where you put it unlike a modern light weight spatula. Great for flipping egg or pancakes. This one is made for camp cooking.

CAMP FIRE SET
LARGE
This is the heavy duty version of a camp fire set. Made from 1/2 iron rather than the typical 3/8 inch. This set will hold a 2 gallon pot full to the top without any worries. The uprights measure 57 inches tall and the cross bar is 37 inches across. The extra hieght of the uprights allow you to use this set confidently even in soft or wet soil as you can sink them as deep as need be and still have plenty of hieght so that the cross bar is not too close to the fire. There is no ill effect if the ground is hard and you only have to sink the uprights a few inches. Just use a chain and S hooks to lower your pots to the desired height.

ANTIQUE BEAN POT
Now I don't think that any of the bean pots I'm offering for sale today are from the CW era but they are all very old and of the same style and size. No reproductions in this lot. After the 1930's commercial productions of these pots (with a very few exceptions) vanished. There was no market for them anymore. So you can bet this one is of that era or older. It will make a great addition to your hearth or camp gear. Will hold over a 1 gallon of water (approx.). If you need more than one let me know as I try to keep several on hand.
As with all of the antique castiron cookware offered by Blockade Runner Inc. these pots have been thoroughly cleaned and seasoned. They are ready for use when you unpack them.

COFFEE "BAGS"
This small, seemingly insignificant item is in reality anything but. If you are like me that is. I hate coffee grounds in my cup and the last cup of the pot is always the worst. "Be gone evil grounds"!
With this little 3 by 4 inch bag especially made for the job, you will never suffer coffee grounds in your cup again. Just put your normal amount of coffee inside this little bag, tie the top and toss it into the pot. When the coffee has completed brewing remove the bag and serve the "grounds free" coffee. They are reuseable too! I have one here that I have used over 20 times and it shows no sign of giving up. They come in packs of three so one pack should last you an entire season.
Works for tea too!

CHOW CHOW (RELISH)
Chow Chow, I have no idea where the name came from but it is basicly relish. In our little "neck of the woods" Chow Chow was a great sorce of pride and conflict among the elder ladies of the community. Who's was best? That one little question was sure to start a half hour arguement regardless of where it was ask. The feed store, the post office or even a church social. Most (not all) of the folks would finally agree that it was Mrs. Nelson's or at least that her's was in the running for the top spot. As you might imagine the recipe for this deliscous condement was a closely guarded secret - but - she thought the world of my Dad and after several request she gave him the recipe as long as he promised to never share her secret with anyone. For 50 years he kept his word and I will continue to honor that promise, but there is no reason that you shouldn't enjoy this award winning treat. Nothing is better with a hot bowl of beans than a slice of hot cornbread, sweet onions and a big spoonful of Chow Chow!

Pvt. Ambrose Remley, 72 Ind. Inf. Dec. 20, 1862. Somewhere in Middle Tenn. "We got 2 boxes (from home) besides mine, best apple butter I ever ate". In his notes and letters home, Ambrose mentions repeatedly that their (the 72nd) ration of "sowbelly and crackers" got old real quick.

MULLBERRY SYRUP
Mullberries are in my opinion the most delicious berry of all and the most under utilized. You seldom hear of anyone using them today even though they grow everywhere especially here in the South. I assure you that was not always the case. When I was a child I remember some of the older folks pointing out mullberry trees to me and remarking that when they were children that they helped their mother or grandmother gather berries from that very tree. It was often the youngsters job to climb the tree and shake the branches releasing a "rain storm" of the dark sweet treats. If you saw a very large single tree standing alone in the middle of an otherwise plowed field it was probably a mullberry that the farmer had spared in order to harvest the fruit.
This year we gathered about 20 gallons of mullberries from our wild mullberry trees so we could make a batch of my favorite, mullberry syrup. I prefer syrup over jelly or jam as it is the most versitile. Pour it over pancakes or icecream. Spoon it onto biscuits or into your coffee. During the holidays it makes a wonderful cordual.
Now if you have never enjoyed mullberries before then you are in for a real treat. Similar in many ways to wild blackberries but sweeter and much less tart. The seeds are tiny and almost impossible to remove even if you wanted to. Surprisingly the seeds are not hard as you would find in many berries. In texture they are very similar to toasted flax seeds.
The Eastern cultures attribute many health benifits to this delicous berry as well. But for me it's all about the taste.

HOW WE MAKE OUR SPICED APPLE CIDER.
SPICED APPLE CIDER VIDEO
ORGANIC SPICED CIDER
We've always been proud of our spiced cider and have shared it with friends for years. After much encouragement from our friends and neighbors we now offer it to you.
The Smith family has been growing "Arkansas Black" apples here in Bedford Co. since 1813, that's a lot of Great Grandfathers ago. The Arkansas Black is of the Winesap variety. It matures late and is very disease resistant making it ideal for organic growers.
Our small orchard produces around 200 quarts of juice a year and we do not intend to expand. Therefore this will be a limited or an in season product. When we are out - we are out until next year.
Our apples are hand picked and sorted, washed 3 times and then juiced on a Buckeye Cider Mill that is over 120 years old, yes, hand crank. Another reason we do not intend to expand.
Our juice is not filtered but allowed to "settle" in a holding tank and then drawn off reducing any need for filtering. Then the spices are added and it's on to be processed and canned in our "inspected" commercial kitchen. After that it's ready for you. Don't be surprised if you see a little apple pulp or a bit of allspice in your jar. It's perfectly safe to drink.
The best tasting Spiced Apple Cider you've ever tried. Great cold, better hot or add your own "special seasoning" for a great apple pie drink.

CEDAR ROLLING PIN
Our cedar rolling pins are made right here in our wood shop. The cedar is harvested right on the property as well.

The logs are cut to length and hand split with a shingle froe and wooden mallet. Then spun on the lathe and trimmed to size. No two are exactly alike but all will be close to 16 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
This style of rolling pin is now considered a European style but it was quite American in the 18th & 19th century. We have my wife's G.G. Grandmother's cedar rolling pin hanging in our kitchen. It was actually the inspiration for us to offer a reproduction. A common item in any kitchen or refugee camp of the era.

ORIGINAL 2 GALLON GYPSY POT
Anyway I was very lucky to find this one. I have cleaned it, sand blasted the inside and as you can see from the photos I have been seasoning it as well.
The lip of this vessel shows two cracks, not cracks as if it were broken but what the old metal guys call "cooling cracks". They do not go all the way through and the pot rings like a bell when tapped. You will have to look hard to find them but I thought you should know. They will not affect the pot in any way.

I do not know the history of the willow pattern china but I do know that when several of the CS trash pits at Wartrace Tn. were "dug", broken pieces of blue willow, pink willow, along with several blue dutch patterns were found by the handfuls. I think Larry Hicklen of Yesteryear was the only one smart enough to keep examples of each of the patterns found there. It's quite a collection.
I do not believe my plates were produced during the C.W. period but the pattern is the same. Both the Blue and Pink Willow Pattern are still being manufactured today.

MULTI PURPOSE MUSLIN BANDANA
What a terrible name for something that is so useful! This will most likely be the most used item in your kitchen or near the camp fire.
This little piece of shirt weight muslin with it's edges finished measures about 20 X 20 inches square. Now what could you possibly do with such an item?
Well let's see? How about a handkerchief, a bandage, a hand towel, a pudding bag, a napkin, an improvised havlock, tie the corners and you have a bag for gathering what ever is in season. Use it for straining or filtering a broth. A scarf for your head or neck. Use it folded several times to remove that Hot lid from the pot. Are you starting to get the picture?

COFFEE GRINDER
This is a vintage reproduction coffee grinder. One of the better that I have seen. It works very well and should last for years. I have found no defects of any kind and I have inspected it very closely. There is only the one so first come first serve.
It measures 6 by 6 inches square. Constructed of cast iron and I believe the wood is maple.
