Congratulations.  What a sweet find.  The condition of the porcelain, wheels and ash triangle are amazing. A true survivor and a benchmark example as to how one should be restored to.

Wow, that's an excellent find!

We set up a meeting time for the next morning.  I was running late for my step son’s opening day high school football game or I would have already been on my way over there. I was not in too big of a hurry knowing that the kettle was hiding in her garage and not advertised.

I'm glad everything worked out and you were able to arrange a deal with the lady that both of you were happy with  so you were able to get the kettle, and you were able to get to your stepson's football game.  That'll mean a lot to him now, but more especially when he gets older.

Hey thanks @Lightning, that makes me feel good. You know I have to admit, the thought did cross my mind to blow off that game. Very few things are more important than scoring kettles.

The inside leg sockets had very little rust and are rock solid. Speaking of rock solid, I need to post some pictures of the cooking grate.  It is incredibly thick, I've never seen anything like it.  Also, the leg socket tubes are like twice as think as new ones.

That is great you got a real Gem there I've noticed with a few of the older kettles I've got that must of had original grates in them still the gauge of the steel rods was much thicker that was on a 65 model year kettle I bet yours is even more stout
