Reader Adam sent us some pictures of an interesting percolator that has some differences from all of ours. At first glance, it looks normal.
However, the handles were held on by brass rivets instead of a screw / nut.
On the inside, there is a grid of holes at the spout:
All of ours just have a larger hole at the bottom and a smaller hole at the top in that area.
Someone suggested it was a sales sample.
I did order a pre 68 double circle pot for parts and the holes where the rivets were are smaller than the normal screw holes so without drilling the tang out my replacement handle will have to wait.
Interesting. Thanks for the update.
Need basket top where you put the coffee in
These aren’t available new, but check eBay as sometimes people list these for Revere Ware percolators (or the entire basket assembly) individually.
