So the wife and I were coming home a couple hours ago. It was on the darker side of dusk and I saw what looked to be a broken down kettle at the curbside about a block from our house. Went back to check it out...Damn you guys! :-) 3 months ago I would’ve driven by without a second thought. But now that kettle is in my garage.
It’s a D code, formerly black, now faded to light gray. Both metal bowl handles are intact and well attached, as are all the daisy wheels. But there is a pretty sizable gouge in the bowl that has rusted, and 2 of the 3 leg mounts have a weld tab or two rusted through. The spot welds on all the grate holder straps are all rusting through too.
From the burnt pine needles that were in it, it seems it was last used as a fire pit. Cook grate is pretty nasty and gunked up, had some mold on it. But also seems heavier than the newer ones. Probably an older grate from when they were real Stainless, but I’m not sure it’s original to the kettle.
Is this worth anything?
I really have too many projects going already, so I’ll most likely sell this if it’s worth anything, otherwise give it away.
