This is the Yachtsman that Harris92 agreed to part with. I received it a while ago but circumstances prevented me from getting it set out and fired up.
Firstly, it was in nice condition, without the deep crazing that is typical of these yellows. There are a few chips typical of a 40 plus year old kettle. However, it does have this staining that looks like it originated from the bowl and came through the vents. I tried all my tricks and this stuff will not budge:
Everything else came sparkling clean, including the bowl and lid interior. The bowl interior was spotless when I got it. The inside of the lid was lightly smoke covered but came clean with just soap. I did not touch the wheels, legs, triangle or ash pan. They look great.
I would say it looks pretty nice all put together....
Sorry for the "not so detailed" pictures. It is so sunny here, it is hard to get photos without glare.....
