Based on the shape & the lower handle, I would bet it is some sort of smelting pot for lead.

Don't think so, its to big for that also most lead pots I have seen do not have tipping handle.... Think it really is a "bean" pot....

IMHO, anything with a gate mark is going to be 100 plus years old. Regardless of the name, those old castings are all of decent quality.
I do have some concerns about those shiny spots inside that pot, you'll want to make sure it's not lead.

absolutely ! It will get sniped off of here for about $50.00 at the last second and show up in an antique store for around $100.00.

Yes it is well worth it. The fact the pour gate is showing indicates it to be close to 100 yaes old. You will probably never know the foundry name but they are wonderful for making yeast bread as well as any kind of stews soups etc, As stated above they were primarily for making jellies and jams and are without a lid for that reason (so the liquids would evaporate and allow the goodies to thicken). I found that a 10" lodge camp oven lid fits mine like it was made for it. Be sure and ask seller to assure you it is crack free some have been knocked around and damaged.
