Smushed Redhead Kettle with Nubbed Double Rivet Handles
« on: October 16, 2013, 06:49:45 AM »
The title says it all...

had a friend of mine run across this in Houston and wanted to know if I wanted it...I think I am going to say no, but I have never seen nubbed double rivet handles like this on a kettle.  Anybody else seen anything like this?

OUCH!!!!!  :o  The handles are most likely homemade. Maybe the bowl is salvageable?

Use the bottom for a planter and the top for a fire pit cover and call it a day.

I think I hear taps in the background.

I agree, very painful to look at.

I was just surprised at the riveted handles.  Normally, when I think of homemade handles I would just think of someone using a piece of wood and wood screws.  These handles just looked commercial to me.  I don't really have a friggin clue though how much the average joe uses rivets.  I don't have much experience with them.    8)

Sometimes you just need to let the scrapers do their business....

Maybe there is a nut behind it and you just can't see it

It'd be cool with a black lid if the bowl is salvageable.

I would take it if that poor kettle could find its way up near Fort Worth. Has some parts that could be salvaged.
