When was copper introduced?

[TheDude]

Title says it. Just wondering when.

Target sold an exclusive copper with black handles several years ago. 2011, maybe?

Update... found a couple of threads that mention the Target copper OTS has an AA vent code, which does make it 2011. Sold for one year.

...and for that price, I'd buy it

Thanks @Bob BQ  . Deal pending.

1 bowl handle... perfect to convert it to a MT.

I hope to find one of these someday to do just that.

It makes for a nice kettle:





I blacked out the legs and put an ash catcher with a black bowl on it.  The copper/black contrast really pops.

@Winz Pretty. It really does pop. I'm all for wood handles, but with the black/copper contrast... Why not leave the black handles?

Personal preference.  The black plastic looks fine, but one of my favorites for a copper kettle is Mahogany.  This handle was a gift from @MacEggs and looks stunning on copper.

Modern Copper. Introduced in 2011 as a one year Target stores exclusive. Was slightly glossier than the current copper that came out for 2014-present.

Related colors: Chestnut Coppertone (two tone pink) 1956-1968

Copper Mist (two tone chocolate brown) 1969-1991 or so.

This guy takes forever to respond.

It's mine. First color in the stable, and somewhat unique. Looking forward to the cleanup.

[Harleysmoker]

Cool, tell him you want the charcoal chimney in the back ground pik

[TheDude]

@Harleysmoker thing is half smashed.
