Thanks again, Hatch, for grabbing this and sharing it with us. This estate sale was actually fairly close to me, but I was unable to make it over on Saturday. All morning, I was bummed about this thing getting away from the WKC, and I was elated to see that you got it. So cool that the price was reasonable, and the kettle is so pristine. (I'd have a hard time cooking on it the first time, and I'd have a hard time *not* cooking on it. Do with it what you will, my man.)
So thanks for posting so many photos. We need to plan up a DC-area meetup for this summer so we can see some of the great kettles that folks are rescuing.
