No.
Looks like E. A. Lyman was a Professor of Mathematics at the (then) State Normal College in Ypsilanti.
@Hollyblue - do you think the "hammer marks" might be tool marks on a wax model? Who casts utilitarian copper/bronze/brass pitchers (and leaves...
Yes, I was actually suspecting it might be cast, but couldn't justify that speculation based on the photos. I was suspicious about the OP...

I know you know metalworking, @Hollyblue, so this puzzles me. Raised (as opposed to spun) vessels are hammered, and this one appears to have a...
Meaning all were done at the same time, yes - I have been seeing the whole bottom as a later patch (not just the smaller irregular piece). Vessels...
