Many years of ESing ... part of Antiques & Collectibles business. In this region of the country, if it's NOT marked then either the agents missed it OR a buyer took the tag to mark it as sold (to them). I'm lucky though, most of the pickers and dealers (always the first in line with the baskets and sold stickers) don't give a Damino for kettles (they just don't sell in their venue). Sooooo, I'm in luck. Just got a Brownie for $40, but could have waited till Saturday (the half price day for this ES agent) and got it for $20. She's was way too pretty and I was way too busy to wait and "take my chances".
