The Marietta Casting Company was founded in 1889, and they produced some pots with "ears" and tin lids, that are light by today's standards when one looks at cast ironware for the camp. I found the larger pot about 10 years ago, and got lucky and scored the smaller pot on Tuesday. They are a rather old design, going back much farther than the company.
The advantage to the Marietta pots (you can find them sometimes in Antique stores or eBay) is they resist denting and puncture more than a copper pot, but they are lighter for cast iron. The disadvantage is you have to be careful not to drop them on a very hard surface to avoid cracking them. You are lucky if you find them with the lid.
