Check out Ebay. They range from $19 to around $100.

Pretty cool. I agree...check out eBay or post it on Facebook in one of those chuckwagon groups...lots of knowledgable folks there.

Cool pot that looks like it will make a bunch of coffee at one time, I like the attached lid too. It would also be good out camping for hot bath water as it seems to be of good size...

I saw a brand new one for $99.00,but that doesn't take into account the antique value.

Well, it sounded like a good idea when I thought about it.

I have 2 cast iron tea pots.. They do now have the emblems on them though. I am
using them as pellet burners.
I will be following this thread closely as if their worh big bucks i will have to stop burning the pellets in them

not a coffee pot, not a tea pot but a kettle, used to make hot water for washing, shaving, tea or whatever you need hot water for.

What he said.
Also a humidifier if you have a wood stove and a potpourri pot.
