First 18 and it's a pat pending
« on: September 09, 2016, 12:47:22 PM »
Just picked this up off of Craigslist 30 bucks.
Just got home.
Looking at the 68 or 71 catalog it's called a 49'er
Now I need to find an ash pan.

Nice pick up. I have on and it is my favorite cooker - and nice to look at, too.

That's a sweet old black! The more time passes the more my appreciation and love for vintage black kettles grows. Especially 80s and earlier with the orange peel texture.

Yes! I've added the older black kettles to my want list. They are so awesome.

4/0 steel wool Ajax dish soap and light pressure. They cleaned up really easy. I was surprised how good of shape the wheels are in. I almost didn't want to clean it up. But I was dying to see how well it would clean up.

Yes @Craig , eventually we all grow older and wiser and replace our foolish childhood lust for color with a more mature appreciation of the classics.  ;D
