This extremely tiny copper teapot was formed using an old Indian Head penny. These pennies were replaced by the Lincoln penny in 1909, so the material itself is over 100 years old. On the bottom of the teapot you can still read the “ONE CENT” minted into the surface of the penny. The maker is unknown, but the teapot was gifted to Gregg Bunch from his father, Cletus, many years ago.
