What I'd be worried about with that, more than the anachronism, is if there's lead content in the metal or the soldered joins and about the rust that's on it. If it's cast-iron, then I'd get busy with some steel wool and scour the rust off. But first I'd grab a lead testing kit from a hardware store and make sure it's safe to use.
