I bet many good meals and stews were fixed in them. I like them..Rub them down with olive oil or something to keep from rusting

Default Kettles

REALLY NICE KETTLES. Do they have a number or a name? Scrub them down with a wire brush, rub them down really well with cooking oil, bake them about 30 minutes in the oven at 350 and then oil them again....GREAT FINDS CREEK....PAPPY
