In the mean time, at that price it sounds like a Performer Silver or Gold. The top vent is a stamped piece of aluminum. They are fully functional, but very few of them are aesthetically perfct. Shallow scratches and scuffs are the norm with stamped, utilitarian aluminum. Esq 3585 is right about the bowl dimples as well. Do they align with the interior grate straps? If so, they are a result of the spot welds and are not a defect. Our kettles are wonderful in their simplicity , and each one will have its own inconsistencies (not to be perceived as imperfections, and I am OCD to the 3rd degree).
