Three months ago I had no WW’s in my collection. I had a couple faded kettles that I sourced for parts, but none with a heavy patina. I love the looks of the rusted and stained kettles but couldn’t seem to find any near me.
Well in a short 3 months I acquired these 3. Caddywampus 18” pat number, 22” thumbscrew steel wheeler, and a 26” PP steelwheeler.
I posted a photo in the WW patina appreciation thread and received a PM from our very own Marty (56MPG), saying I was missing something. A WW 18” outrider. Marty was willing to add his outrider to my collection if I was interested, and said we can work out the details in getting it to me.
In the end the only detail that needed to be worked out was a “hell yeah I’m interested” and an address. Marty sent me the kettle, left the beautiful Zav handle on it, and covered all shipping! WOW!! What a guy!!
Now this isn’t the first contact I’ve had with Marty. He’s helped out plenty on my “in search of requests” and came to the rescue, (along with a few other great members) in a Secret Santa mishap.
I received the outrider today, assembled it and set up my WW’s around my weathered Box Alder tree. It seemed fitting.
Thank you for your generosity Marty. It’s people like you make this group the best there is!! Thank you again.
Enough chatter, here’s some pics!
