Title: Is this a B (1980) kettle?
Post by: nicky on September 17, 2013, 03:54:43 AM
Hi, can anyone help me out determining the age of my new kettle? It has a flipped B on the top damper. It has a metal handle at the side and a wooden handle at the top:

Looks like an '80 to me. We've seen that flipped B before. Does the top handle have double rivets or a single screw? It looks to be in fantastic shape, maybe never/rarely used!

It looks like a complete fake to me... you'd better send it on over and I'll dispose of it properly.  ;-)

When I die I will be cremated and my ashes stored in my Blue GA, sorry. (Although I think I will need to make sure you don't find out where it will then be stored  ;) ).

Yeah I know I won't be able to pry yours away from you Ken

Unless you've already made contact with the seller
