DescriptionThis is a cylindrical kettle with seven eye bolts and thumb nuts around the rim to hold the cooker cover in place. There are also two semi-circle metal handles with black grips on each opposite sides of the kettle. The kettle is silver in color, and the opening slowly tapers inward before going straight into a deep well to form the kettle. There are many scuff marks and scratches both on the inside and outside of the kettle.On View
