This certainly look like an old Tea Kettle... early 1900's at least, looking at the bail and other design...

Does it have a pit bottom, or flat bottom?
Gatemark on the bottom?

I will be interested to know whether any more markings show up after cleaning. 
Have never seen any pieces with "LEVIS" before.  Wondering if the letters will also become clearer with cleanup.... :-/
