Title: $15 Thumbscrew Texan
Post by: michaelmilitello on December 20, 2020, 11:58:26 AM
Made a short trip this afternoon to pick this rough guy up.  Probably not a cooker but the parts were worth it.  Three small tab vents and restorable metal wheels with intact rubber tread are worth $15 to me.
Leg sockets are hanging by a thread.  (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201220/d2c7a1ceb9367eb7b2750e78017498f1.jpg)


Might see a new life as a planter in the spring.  It was  in the seller’s family for three generations since brand new.

Like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, “Maybe it just needs a little love.”

That's easily worth 15 bucks.

No.  I have a nicer one already.  I bought this one for the parts: the wheels and bowl vents.

 Great kettle at that price and uncommon!
