Wow!

I would have to question the "never used" claim, but it is in great condition.
What is the significance of the "K" code.

"K" is 1988. "A" starts with 1979. I have a "B" code kettle from 1980. It would be nice if posters in this forum would download and post the photos rather than just post a link. The link has since been deleted, so it's lost, and we now can't see it.

Oh, OK, I get it. They letter corresponds to a year of manufacture.
