Question:
I recently purchased an antique 3 gallon crock. I intended to use this crock for making pickles or saurkraut. I noticed after I purchased it that it has some 1-2 milimeter diameter circles on the inside bottom of the crock where it appears that the enamel has worn off. Does this make the crock unsuitable for use with liquids? If so, is there any way to repair or replace the enamel so that it could be used again? Thank you very much for your help.—Kit

Stamped "Patented Dec. 21st, 1915 just to the right of left handle. Good condition with no cracks, handles intact.
