Sigh. Always test cast iron of unknown history. Any wall mounting tips lol?

Just be sure to put a label on the back stating it should not be used and contains lead. You never know who may attempt to use it someday for whatever reason. Also, in case something happens to you and someone cleans out your place, they will know its deadly and should discard it instead of keeping it.

Why not break it and throw it away?

The norm where I'm from is to drill a hole in the bottom so it becomes useless.

The best idea ive read.

Until someone fills the hole with a little lead. Good as new!
