After cleaning it nicely and boiling water with citric acid for several days, it started leaking. Upon inspection, I found a total of 9 holes in the kettle, as shown in photos ⑭, ⑮, and ⑯. It was difficult to see where the leaks were from the outside, so I took photos from inside the kettle, facing the light (photos ⑭, ⑮, and ⑯). The leaks were not from the areas where the exterior was dented, but from small, inconspicuous black spots (photo ⑰). When I polished it, I felt that the old aluminum was of high quality. I searched for the company name (photos ⑨ and ⑪) but couldn't find it. I thought it might be a rare kettle, so I decided to list it. I am looking for someone who can repair the holes, someone interested in old kettles, or someone who collects them. ★ The bonus lid was handmade by my father. It's amateurish, but it fits and functions properly. He said he made it because he didn't want any debris to get into the barley tea he made. The seams show signs of aging as seen in photo ⑳, but it's hard and doesn't seem likely to break easily. #ShowaRetro #Kettle #8L #8L Kettles #Aluminum
