My pal "with a K" picked up a red late model (P code) three wheeler for me a month ago, and I finally had a chance to get it from him.I knew it was in rough shape but could not pass it up. The bottom vents have lost their rivets and are screwed in, handles are destroyed, the usual stuff.
However, the lid and bowl themselves are missing more porcelin than I hoped, and in fact the bowl was oval. (i think i have fixed that.)
Anyway, i strongly prefer to "restore" the kettles I come across and keep them as original as possible. But this one has me rethinking that. I am considering "ratting" it out a bit with some color flair, etc.
Thoughts from the club? This will be a kettle i do a fair bit of cooking on. Should I restore it or rat it?
