Copper pots need to be lined with tin or stainless steel to be safe for most uses. If it's greenish, it's probably because the tin lining has worn away and copper is exposed. Copper turns green when it oxidizes. You can have the pot retinned by a number of services (there are many good ones that do it by mail and some local ones may exist too for you). Once it has a new lining, it should be good to go. The tinker can give you advice on using. Don't cook in it now though if it has any green stuff on the inside!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252736363159072433.post-18846343761535751962017-06-17T09:18:55.640-07:002017-06-17T09:18:55.640-07:00ThanksThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04571828795230778384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252736363159072433.post-72429454566996620982017-01-01T15:40:26.865-08:002017-01-01T15:40:26.865-08:00Found a copper pot of my grandmothers (used in the...Found a copper pot of my grandmothers (used in the 50-60's) wondering if it is still safe to use after a thorough soap and water washing?

I found out it is circa early 70's. Also a copper Waldow frying pan with wood handle and tin lining. I have down-sized my life--including my kitchen--and really don't have room for this, but I thought it was beautiful so I bought it anyway. I feel I should sell it to someone who will appreciate it. Any idea what something like this is worth? I see nothing like this set on eBay.
