A similar MoPac cobalt pot was manufactured by Fraunfelter China, Zanesville, Ohio. This pot is slightly taller than the Halls version (4″ versus 3 7/8″) and is slightly heavier. The concave section of the base is not glazed. Fraunfelter China operated from 1923 to 1939, a much shorter time period than Hall China’s 1903 to present production period, which no doubt accounts for the lack of information about MP use of this manufacturer. Restaurant China, Volume II, by Conroy, lists the “known” railroad customers as CN, C&NW, GN, IC, NYC, SP and Uintah. Obviously Missouri Pacific should also be listed as a customer.
