This is a kettle that was at my grandfather's house. It seems he only used it once a year. It hasn't been used much, and it was displayed on a shelf, so I think it's relatively clean. There is a small area on the bottom where the paint is chipped. There are also other small scratches. Please understand that this is an item from several decades ago before purchasing. If you would like me to retake any photos, please leave a comment!
