So I started working for a new customer last week on an 1800s farm house.
She explained she needed to clean the barns out as well. I'm doing interior painting for now.
Well I saw a kettle and we looked at it. Today as I pulled up all I could see is that kettle sitting there.
I knew it needed some love. She's 3rd generation on the farm. They recently sold the 1225 acres of farm land but kept the house with some acreage. Now known as the Hudson Halley Farm Hub. Really cool thing. You can Google it. Well I asked if I could take it home and clean it up. She's a weathered warrior with a lot of life left in her. 2 of the leg sockets are pushed in a little but original OT is functional with ease. I can't wait to see the look on her face tomorrow. It was her parents who have both passed. Lord knows how long it sat there.
Will need a new cooking grate as it is shot. I left them at the barn. Hopefully she will use it. If it gets offered to me I will offer it here for FREE to someone who may want a birth year WW.
Lid had about an 1/8" of dust/crap on it
But it cleaned up nice. H code
Handles are in decent shape.
Triangle will look good once I get more 0000 SW. DOH, can't believe I ran out. Oh well.
She had no ash pan
