Santa Barbara Boobie

[Duke]

Well it's finally ready to show. It was really difficult and expensive to get. I just cleaned it up and nothing else. The color is pinkish tan and the areola has a reddish hue to it.





Notice the vent isn't stamped patent pending. It also has a square tab.

I love it! It looks darker than the others I have seen.  Wonderful find Shaun!

Is there no location stamped on that vent either?

And you must really like it because of how severe that dirty angle is.

Thanks, yeah I think the color really is Chestnut

Wonderful looking rare kettle! Great save!

That is one beautiful boobie! I even like the patina on the whitewalls. There seems to be way more "mist" on this one than I've seen on others. I like that!

My best guess its a '64-'66. My thumbscrew red 18 has the rounded vent tab on the lid, it must be a '67-'68 then? This is just, awesome!
