huge food service grade stainless steel pot w/ tap, tight lid

Really big food preparation vat, with tight fitting lid and tap at the bottom. This isn't marked with a maker, and we don't know what it was used for originally, but we know it was being used for years to bottle apple cider and honey - we found it at a farm sale here in Wisconsin.

The pot measures 16 1/2" tall x 13" in diameter. It's heavy stainless, but the bottom is not insulated for stovetop, though there are some marks from a gas flame to the bottom and lower sides of the pot, so we know it was being used over heat at some point.

There are three calibrated lines for 16 quarts, 23 quarts, and 27 quarts, the pot holds 33 quarts brim full. (Over 8 gallons.)

The pot is water tight, except at the tap, which leaks like mad, and needs a new rubber gasket!
