Hopefully you fine folks can help me figure out what this tea kettle is all about, as my extensive online research has left me cross eyed. I bought this at an estate sale for 8 bucks...thought it looked pretty neat and hopefully antique-ish. It is a tea kettle with a hand painted farm scene on it...white fence, silo, trees, bushes, roosters, chickens da dada da farm scene. It has a wood handle and a wooden knob on the top of the...top. There is a signature of "Elliott" on it as well. The bottom of the kettle reads "Made in USA...PRINCES (possible company name I believe, A little hard to decipher) and pure aluminum stamped into it. I tried taking pictures of the stamping but it is tough to read with the naked eye as is. I have no idea if this is an antique or a vintage painted kettle from some unknown guy in sticksville, usa who painted farm scenes for fun on sundays. Any help would be delightful! Thanks guys!
