Wagner Sidney O kettle

[Jim Baldwin]

This is an Aluminum kettle with gate mark on bottom. I have seen the cast iron version sell pretty good. Has anyone else ever seen this particular early kettle made from aluminum. I searched for aluminum gate mark on google a few months back and this kettle was the end result being delivered in about a week. I have read that A lot of aluminum was poured by Griswold and Wagner in early cast iron molds but this is the only piece I have ever seen

The blue book shows a plain iron and a galvanized finish. I have no idea what that means.

RB pg. 65 dates it 1897-1910.

Does the Red Book list the aluminum version or show only the cast iron. I have the Blue book and will definitely be getting the Red book soon.

The aluminum is what I was referring to above.
