Picked this up on Ebay for $40 which I think is a bargain, as most others I have bid on go for around $150-$200. It has no lid ,no big deal s/s pot one is perfect fit. Plus was missing the lever on the tap.
Happy to report spout and tap are OE, so just fashioned a tap lever up out of some flat. this hopefully will sit over the fire by way of tripod and keep the water on the boil all the time, It has Clarke & Co underneath and maybe 6 gallon, date wise I'd say late 1890s to early 1900s.
One thing for sure it will getting sand blasted first thing Monday and fingers crossed there are no holes. My other water boiler is too fiddly, might make another tripod out of 19mm rod,
