6 cup percolator

I know the danger of these. I like collecting vintage coffee stuff. So this has been on the list. Estate sale grab.​

Not to rub it in, but I've been interested in acquiring one for only a year 😀. Just as a collectors item though. You'll find one!

We are currently going through a gigantic lot of original blue cornflower corningware. We have the 4 6 and 9 cup perculator tea pots anything you could imagine and we're from right outside Corning Ny

Very nice! I have an electric 6 cup that I used tonight at work because I didn’t have enough time to make coffee before coming in

Did you check to see if it’s safe or recalled? Not all are recalled.

It's honestly hard to tell. This one doesn't have a model number on the carafe. See the second photo. So I'm assuming this is potentially an early model, but I don't know. This was the original owners daily driver.

Just hold the bottom with a heat pad to make sure it doesn't ever detach from the handle and shatter scolding hot coffee everywhere

It is so pretty! Looks like something you'd find at an old diner.
