This indlicates early, primitive hand-construction or manual smithing work to flatten and shape the sheet metal. Mass-produced, late-stage industrial boilers from the mid-20th century usually have perfectly flat, machine-stamped bottoms. This hammering is exactly what high-end Americana collectors look for.No Cracks or Soldered Patches: While there are expected character dents from being set down on iron stoves, the base is completely solid. There are no split seams or sloppy, modern solder repairs, which would immediately sink the value.Beautiful Fire Patina: The darker, swirled discoloration on the copper is original "fire patina" caused by the heat of old wood stoves or hearth flames. less
