I am not a collector. I cook with everything I have...and they are all black.
Although I have always sort of wanted an E code kettle (birth year), what I really would like to find is a faded black "weathered warrior"...18, 22, 26...so far past black its beyond gray nearing a shade of light blue, possibly with some rust.
Maybe I'll settle for a gray one and let the elements do a little more work.
Man...those faded black "WW's" just do it for me.
