I picked this 18" (K code) up some time back.
When I arrived at the seller's apartment, it had been a steady downpour for over an hour already, with no signs of letting up. There was no shelter for inspecting it, but I did notice the wheels were chewed up. Gave her $25, instead of the $30 she wanted.
Loaded everything quickly & got the he!! outta the rain. Arrived home, unloaded, & inspected it. 1 of 3 handles were salvageable. The OT sweep was in good shape. The grates were in ok shape. Ash pan missing. However, I figured out why the wheels were chewed up. This thing was in a fight with a chained up, large dog at some point in it's life.
. Lots of porcelain damage to the bowl, courtesy of a metal chain being dragged across it. Was solid though, with no dents.
Wasn't sure how much I wanted to put into it. Let it sit a few weeks, then decided to fix it up. I figured, being brown, it hides porcelain damage pretty well. Had a fair set of wheels & a set of custom handles laying around.
. Cleaned up & photographed from its good side, I think it was worth it. I like the way that the chubby handles look on an 18".
Chubby handles & side table really make it look tiny.
