Authentic, pre-WWII Simplex Patent Solid Copper Tea Kettle, masterfully handcrafted in England by Newey & Bloomer. Based on the base stamps, this highly collectible piece dates precisely to the mid-to-late 1930s (circa 1933–1940).
Simplex kettles are widely celebrated as the "Rolls Royce of tea kettles," featuring an iconic timeless design and solid copper construction. The bottom is fully stamped with its historical pedigree, including British Patent Nos. 400709 & 402190, alongside Regd No. 786743.
This item is being sold in honest, untouched vintage condition. It features a rich, deep authentic patina and characteristic tarnishing expected from an item nearly 90 years old. I have chosen to leave it unpolished so the buyer can decide whether to keep its beautiful antique character or restore it to a bright copper shine.
(Seller Note: Please inspect the photos closely to evaluate the condition of the handle, lid, interior, and any minor dings/scuffs).
An exceptional addition to any farmhouse kitchen display, antique copper collection, or a wonderful restoration project for a classic functional centerpiece.
