1850 A RARE VICTORIAN SPIRIT KETTLE BY JAMES MARSTON.

 

A RARE SPIRIT KETTLE FROM THE WOLVERHAMPTON FACTORY OF JAMES MARSTON, IT DATES TO

AROUND 1850 AND IS PRE CHRISTOPHER DRESSERS' TIME AT THE FACTORY. MARSTONS LATER WENT

ON TO BECOME THE SUNBEAM FACTORY FAMOUS FOR BICYCLES AND THEN MOTOR CYCLES AND CARS.

STRANGELY ENOUGH THE VERY RESERVED JAMES MARSTON NEVER RODE A MOTORCYCLE NOR

DROVE A CAR. THE CONDITION IS AMAZING, ONLY A DING IN THE BASE AND A BIT OF GENERAL WEAR.

THIS IS A FULL SIZE UNIT AND NOT A MODEL OR SHOW PIECE AND AS SUCH HAS BEEN USED AND STILL

CAN BE. THE WICK AND BURNER UNIT ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ONLY NEED A DROP OF

METHYLATED SPIRIT TO BE READY TO LIGHT. THE KETTLE ITSELF WILL NEED CLEANING INSIDE BEFORE

USE.
