Click Double your traffic. Get Vendio Gallery - Now FREE! A MOST UNUSUAL LARGE COPPER BOILING KETTLE. MEASUREMENTS 14 INCHES TALL & BELL SHAPED. 10 INCHES ACROSS, MEASURING THE VERY BOTTOM FROM SIDE TO SIDE. MEASURING WITH A SOFT TAPE MEASURE AT THE WIDEST LOWER AREA WE ARE LOOKING AT 30 INCHES AROUND. This is not a light weight kettle. It weighs slightly over five pounds. I HAVE FEW DETAILS ABOUT THIS MASSIVE KETTLE, OTHER THAN A VERY OLD RELATIVE FROM PENNSYLVANIA PASSED AWAY AROUND 1900, & SOMEHOW IT ENDED UP IN OUR FAMILY. IT IS UNIQUE. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE IT BECAUSE OF THE BELL SHAPE. I HAVE HAD MANY QUALIFIED ANTIQUE DEALERS OVER THE YEARS LOOK AT THE PIECE. ALL SAY IT IS INDEED COPPER WITH A BRASS HANDLE & THE HINDGE WHICH OPERATES THE LID IS ALSO BRASS. MOST OF THE DEALERS SAY THAT IT IS AT LEAST 120 YEARS OLD, & COULD ACTUALLY DATE BACK AS FAR AS 200 YEARS +. I HAVE TURNED DOWN SOME GOOD OFFERS ON THIS KETTLE OVER THE YEARS, BUT NOW I COULD USE THE MONEY & THOUGHT I WOULD PLACE THIS UP FOR AUCTION. I would be most appreciative if t are any Antique Road show Type experts who could help me identify what the kettle was used for~?, & or the approximate age. As you can tell it has had a lot of use. See the photo of the bottom. I also was told that this piece has been patched and t with brass. I truly love this piece. read more
