Mystery Tea Kettle

[JBPoole]

Picked up a tea kettle like the one below for $7.00. Any clue as to manufacturer or age?

As I have a couple of other tea kettles, I may sell this one. What would ask for it in restored condition?

Thanks!

Lodge's had a raised numeral on the spout, but not that lid design, AFAIK. Mid to late 1800s, a lot of foundries made a lot of tea kettles, most unidentifiable unless marked.

That's a good looking kettle. If I was into kettles, I'd want that one. Don't know about its collectable value, just looks neat. Doug D's statement is one that I've often wondered about--how many of those unmarked cooking pieces we look at came from "No Name" small foundries from all over the N.E., E. and Mid West? Is there a good guess or any clues?
