ash Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It weighs 12lbs I asked him - so a bit hefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '78 seems looks OK though....but heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If the pots are original it's not earlier than 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
