Our red teakettle had some damage and was left behind in our recent move, so we're on the lookout for a new one. This red vintage Michael Lax teakettle from Copco is tempting. The handle and lid pull are teak, and the shape is classic. No whistle, though. It's currently going for $9.99, with shipping at $15. The auction ends August 18.

i have that kettle in white (got mine on ebay for around $25 shipping included, too) and i love it. the problem with mine is that you can't leave a drop of water sitting in it when not in use, or it rusts horribly. maybe ask the seller if there's any rust or pitting inside before putting a bid in? my seller said it was in very good condition, and cosmetically it is i guess. oh well, i still love it rusty water and all.

A teak handle or any wood part seems scary to have near any flame.
