Did you make it?
No. Picked it up from a buddy in idaho. Think he bought it in Alaska somewhere. Looks like it's water cut steel.
I'm thinking I can disassemble it and make a template from the parts. Considering making a pattern, or building a copy or two to sell if there's enough interest. Shipping would be a bear though. it's a heavy bugger.
Depending on price I might find one of those useful to have around if you go into production mode for sure let me know.
We had a Vendor Sponsor make and sell those some years back. I believe the name was Little Devil smelter or something like that.

if you were to fill that with water, how many gallons would it hold? I ask because that vessel looks to hold more than 100lbs. 1 gallon of lead weighs approx. 97 lbs.
Where did you get your Cast Boolits mould? That’s wicked

That is a Satan's Little Smelter. I wanted one badly 7-8 years ago. The company that made those did them as a side business. They stopped making them and I never found any on the secondary market. That is a great SCORE!!!!!1
PM Lighthouse12 for the moulds. Check it out here.

I could use one of those.
That’s definitely the best lead melting set up I’ve seen. If I were starting out again, I would certainly be looking for one of those.
I'm thinking of making a big pot by cutting the bottom (or top) off of a steel hot water heater tank, and maybe welding on some legs if it doesn't have a flat, square base to sit on the propane turkey-cooker burner.
Here's one in use:
