Brazed copper and looks handmade too. Looks like park of a mash cooker to me, if it isn't it could be very easily.

Could it be something used in the maple syrup/sugar trade?

Top to a REALLY BIG hive smoker?

My guess as well.Upangle would only allow the good vapor to escape to the worm.Bardy grease and other undesireables would drain back to the slops.

I cant imagine what part of making maple syrup this would be used for....you tap a tree ...gather sap in bucket ...pour in boilers....strain through cheesecloth and pour into jars.....

Its for a still.

i've made maple syrup and didn't use this but i'm not 200 years old. my grandpa made corn licker during the prohibition. great find. if nothing else, copper is a premium at the recycler station.
