Quick cleanup of the bowl and lid. The paint was a little stubborn in spots, but it's mostly gone now. A little more work will finish it off.

The lid vent was about as clean as any I've ever seen on a used kettle - it's in great shape and some polishing will make it shine.

Bottom vents will need some work to pretty them up.

Legs and triangle in the morning.

That looks so good!  Great score and clean-up. The lid looks brand new.

Finished putting her back together today. Not the correct ash pan, but it's what I had on hand.
