Nice catch Craig. It appears to be an older lime or maybe they just used old stock vents on it. Nice lime Harris!

Post by: harris92 on July 20, 2013, 07:32:00 AM: Got it from the original owner who is downsizing. They said they bought it in 1972. They are actually going to dig out pictures for me of cooking on it in the 1970's..

Post by: Craig on July 20, 2013, 08:19:23 AM: This is a very cool yet confusing kettle. That last picture it almost looks more avocado than lime minus the two tone. Lighting playing tricks with my eyes. I'm still thinking lime though.. ;)

I have a request. Can you (for clarification & more importantly for our perving pleasure) pose it in a photo with to your '69 cado? :D

Post by: Bluesman on July 20, 2013, 11:16:08 AM: Was that the one in Howard, right by Green Bay for $10..................Nice score. I was alerted by 2 members and couldn't get there in time. Otherwise it would have off to OZ

Post by: harris92 on July 20, 2013, 11:45:31 AM: No, this one came from Northern Michigan. No one ever posted the ad here. I was at the right place and time when I spotted the ad and was the first to respond. They owners agreed to ship it to me.

Post by: harris92 on July 20, 2013, 02:53:04 PM: Yes, few chips around the lip of the lid on the opposite side. It is in very good shape overall. The sellers were very nice too.
