Needing help with a couple ID's.
« on: June 30, 2017, 06:17:57 PM »
Friend of mine owns a small flea market shop and he got a couple of pieces in.  I have my books packed away while doing some work at that house.  My instincts are not the greatest as I have not been buying much CI lately.  Once piece I think is possibly a lodge and one I think might be an old National, even though it is not marked.  The last kettle is interesting and I haven't seen anything like it. It has what looks like some type of flue which looks removable on one side.  Plus it says "flu patd date" on the side.  Any help would be great.





The only marking what looks like a National handle is WO which I figured was Wapakoneta OH but I could be off on that.


No clue on this one I didn't measure its either 13 or 14




Last one, also a 13 or 14





I know the pics aren't the best, sorry about that.

The kettle is an odorless kettle, missing the lid. The odors/vapors are drawn down the "flue" and into the open stove eye.

Next to last skillet (marked Made in USA) is a BSR. Probably a 12 or 14 from the assist handle. Need measurements to be sure.

I have never seen one of the odorless kettles, I have heard of them but never knew what they were.  Are they very rare or worth much?  He seemed to think it was something rare and a true gem.  I told him I had no idea.

As for the last skillet, at first I thought it was warped but not sure if it is warped or maybe a casting issue.  You can make out a few humps in the pictures.
