Kettle help

[EMyers]

I got this old kettle for$20 so I know I didn't get hurt but does anyone know anything about it. Has a 12 on the bottom and is extremely thick and heavy. I have other pictures in general discussion, won't let me post two different spots.

Cross-posting the same question is actually counter-productive to getting answers and coherent discussion, and is why it is requested members not do it. If anyone has any information on this piece, please add it to the other thread.
