NOS Rescue

[1spacemanspiff]

RRR, I really enjoy bringing the shine back to an old kettle that was well used but found it's way to me.  This is a story about a rescue.  I was given notice about a NOS 1981 kettle not far away (thanks @Mike in Roseville ).  I responded to the ad with an offer but didn't hear back. As time went on I figured someone else snapped it up until I checked my phone this morning.  He hit me back with a counter while I was on a run so we agreed on a time for me to stop by and check it out.  We got to talking about collections (kettles, & old toys) when his daughter said "we found it on the side of the road".    He told me a new price because he didn't have money in it.  Turns out his family is new to the area and the decided to head out for a walk.  Passing a home they saw a weber box that was put out for the local bulk waste pick up (destination dump).  So he brought it home and did a little research before offering on a local forum.  I paid him, swapped a few more stories and headed home.  Glad this one was saved from the scrap heap.

Very cool. Love the double riveted handles all the way around.
Congrats Sydney.
I have a B code MBH in a box just like it. Well except for the handles on the bowl. Lol

Nice find and some people are just to lazy to want to deal with finding a new home for misfits.

@Mike in Roseville has to have some serious kettle karma stored up! Sweet find, and I bet the dad told the daughter about how you dont say how much you paid for something when you are trying to sell it lol
