I have a super old (1800’s probably) sugar kettle that the husband is threatening to use as a fire pit.

Is there any way to find a value of an old sugar kettle?




These cats got some from the 1800's but only 5 foot ones and they go from $3750-5150 depending on Grade.

quote:

100 Gallon Cast Iron Kettle $5,150.00 The big one! 100 gallon kettle.
With 100 kettles in stock, we have 8-10 this size

Grade A, no chips, no cracks, great marks $5150

Grade B, chips or cracks some with welds, great marks $4750

Grade C, no chips, no cracks, unmarked $4500

Grade D, chips or cracks, some welds, unmarked $4250

Grade E, sections missing, great marks, $4000

Grade F, sections missing, no marks, $3750

I figure mine is about 250 gallons.

I’ve found some antique listings and I think this thing could be worth quite a bit. It’s rusted but still holds water.

The husband has throughly been convinced not to drill a hole in it.

Thanks everyone who weighed in.

LINK This guy makes them around Opelousas but they look old. I bought a 5ft and a stand for under 2000. Dunno how you could really tell if it was old or not.
