Title: Iron Kettle
Post by: nlester on February 08, 2012, 04:40:12 pm

I'm looking for an iron kettle....5 gallons or more.  Where would be a good place to look for one?  What kind of price to you suppose I'd get into?  Antique roadshow and American Pickers have really upped the price on antiques these days.  Any help would be appreciated.

Are you looking for an open top cauldron type. If so agri supply might be a place to start they sell chinese made stuff thats pretty reasonable not pretty but functional. Ron

I have see several of these sell at estate auctions, they go pretty high if I remember right, over $200.
