Found this lovely quality nickel plated copper picnick kettle. The lid clamps a disc with washers onto the kettle lid which when loosened slightly allows the steam out.
This is immediately my favourite kettle by a very large margin - looks like it was made from spare Panzer Mk IV parts! This would compliment my Enders 9061D very nicely!
... in fact, I'm going to make my own.... but better and more rugged, more bolts, more chains, more rivets! More of everything! (Sorry, I've just gone a bit mad!)
No name that I can see at the moment weight is about 700g or 1.5 lbs @Harder D. Soerensen . @Blueflame the kettle lid is made of several parts an outer ring which screws onto the kettle which then clamps a loose disc with washers which forms the center of the lid. when travelling the ring is tightened right up sealing the kettle as a water container, when in use it’s lossened off to allow pressure and steam out and prevent the water shooting out of the spout. It also allows the kettle to be picked up by the handle without getting scalded, also allowing air in when pouring to prevent a vacuum stopping water coming out! This is the only explanation that I can come up with to explain the Lid construction so far. It’s of top quality construction solid and carefully made so I would assume at the time it was made part of an expensive set. @tonypress it holds about 2 pints for boiling purposes nearly 3 full to the brim!
Those little holes in the lid look like the bolts on helicopters. Stick a piece of wire through one, wrap it around the handle, and the lid won't shake loose in transit. Ben
@z1ulike I know what you mean, I cannot see a reason to go to the trouble of the details on the lid really it’s over engineering? Cheers!
