I've been meaning to post this but just now getting to it.
Friday:
I found a 22.5 redhead for $30 about an hour from me. I called the lady and said I could pick it up on Easter when I was driving down to see my family. Her response: "if its still here, it's yours". Apparently she didn't want to hold if for me!
Saturday: I could hardly take it! couldn't stop thinking about this beauty falling into the wrong hands. Tossing and turning at night.
Sunday: I called in the morning, no answer so left a message. Called back about an hour later and she says someone is on their way now to pick it up. I was super bummed but what could I do? Then about 20 mins later, she calls back and says she never gave the other person her address and can't get ahold of them so its mine if I want it! I couldn't get in my truck and get there fast enough, fearing she'd sell it out from under me.
Well I made it in time and scored this beauty
1980
Handle is in rough shape
Also came with this charcoal holder
All in all, a stressful but great score. And the kettle in great shape with one small chip in the porcelain! Now I need to break out the 0000 SW!
Thanks for looking!
