Title: Couple of pick ups
Post by: kendoll on September 03, 2013, 01:09:03 AM
Picked this up for $20 tonight. Will get better pictures (during the day  :) ) on the weekend.

The first blue kettle in my possession!  :)

It is an H code and came with a tool holder.

And a nice delivery in the mail yesterday - one set aside for Golly.  :)

The kettle needs a bloody good clean and a bit of work on the lid. There is a dent on the lip that stops the lid closing properly. Twist ash pan should be salvageable too.

Cheers Joel. Picked it up on the way home from work.

A prize? How about my admiration? ;)

It's a really dark blue too.

Thanks Terry. It took a while. :)

I think the kettle collection is good now until some vintage colored grills come along. Fingers crossed for a Ranger some day!

Looking for a vintage SJ, hopefully an offset handle. They are a bit easier to find space for. :)

Oh I know all about loving the SJs for storage space! That's why I have so many of them :)

20 bucks is a good score!  I'd love to add a blue kettle to the blue Performer collection.  :)

Thanks all. Yeah it looks pretty good. Got it from a Spanish couple who were moving from Sydney to Melbourne.

It needs a damn good clean, looks like they started to clean the inside of the lid and gave up. I also managed to get it home withough taking the legs off and with it FULL of heatbeads.  :o

Golly, yeah, I think so. ;)

Yes indeed. Did you want me to send it up with Jase or just bring it in a couple of weeks?

I would LOVE to add a blue performer full stop! I have never even seen one in the flesh.
