Post by: Craig on February 16, 2013, 07:11:56 AM: I would love to see more of the red wheels. The age of the kettle with its wooden bowl handle (are there 1 or 2 bowl handles?) and is there a letter on the vent?

Can't tell what it says, but I like that kettle. I also like those wheels. I have a set and they roll like a dream with the bearings. I would switch those out with those cheap plastic ones and enjoy the ride. :D
