Description
Quite well-preserved, vintage aluminum Colonial style tea kettle has a lovely "bird spout" and great overall form! All original working hardware(brackets, etc.), with the exception of one newer replaced screw on the right side of the handle. Lovely
wooden handle & original lid with wooden finial top. The interior (see photo #9) is rusty/dirty. The kettle itself maintains it's original patina, and grunge. I don't dare clean such things. If there are any markings on the bottom of the kettle, they're long worn off by use & heat. Date of this item is unknown. I'm guessing WWll era or possibly earlier. Condition is good, overall, with a few very small dents, which just add to it's charm. I'd
suggest
this pc. is for decorative purposes only, but if you really cleaned it thoroughly, I bet it would be usable & fine for camping. This was discovered in an elderly family member's barn recently, but otherwise, unsure of it's use & history. This would make a great play or movie prop!
Overall dimensions of 10" tall from top of handle to bottom of kettle x 10" across at widest part of base.
