Just curious. Has anyone ever tried to make a replica of the original kettle?

I've been doing some tinkering. I'd love to figure out how to replicate the flattie lid.






This next one is not mine but a much better attempt..

@Craig, Did you do anything with the leg sockets?

Nice stuff, but I was thinking more of George's original 1952 kettle.
