Bed Pan...

[the ham man]

On my last dig Saturday I dug up an old bed pan. No I did not take it home. I much more prefer my own porcelain bed pan[]. But what I thought was cool about this one was that it still had some writing on the side of the company that made it. A good portion of it is covered with rust but its still readable in some parts. Any ideas on what the whole thing would have said? I think the picture was pretty good so you guys should be able to read it. Thanks, Joey

When I was a kid (35 years ago) I brought one of them home from the woods.. had ABSOLUTELY no idea what it was, and used it in the back yard as a parking lot for my Matchbox cars.. how stupid I was to run all the way back in the house to make a number.. [8|]

Hey Joey,

Beneath that rust, it likely reads:

"MEINECKE
