Very used, Well seasoned, marks (that may be able to be cleaned off), no dents. I just did a rinse out, not a clean up since some like vintage cookware to remain in their seasoned and vintage-ness condition. This belonged to my friend's grandmother. Selling some stuff for her (which I don't like to do) but she is in a tight financial situation.

More descriptions/usage:

The Revere Ware 14 cup indoor/outdoor percolator is make of all metal construction, perfect for cooking on a stove top or an outdoor grill.

Based on historical documents, this large percolator was first introduced in 1955. The instruction booklet (not included, but can be seen find it here >   https://www.reverewareparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Revere-Ware-14-cup-coffee-maker-manual-organized.pdf ) has a date of 1957, so it is one of the early ones.

Besides it’s large capacity, the 14-cup percolator contains a heat shield over the bottom of the pump (the flattened piece at the bottom of the stem, in which heated water expands, and is forced up the stem) which helps concentrate heating water around the pump.

1. Fill the coffee maker with cold water to desired level, indicated by markings on side. This is most easily done by removing coffee basket and water diffuser.

2. Replace coffee basket, and for each cup of coffee desired, measure in 1 heaping table spoon or 2 level tablespoons of your favorite coffee blend (regular grind}. Distribute coffee evenly in basket.

3. Place water diffuser over coffee, making sure it contacts coffee bed to give best filtering action.

4. Cover and place over high heat until perking begins.

5. As soon as perking begins turn heat to lowest point which will maintain perking and perk for 6 minutes.

Note: Preparation time usually 18-21 minutes, for full capacity.

In terms of outdoor use, the instruction booklet does claim proudly For Indoor or Outdoor Coffee Making, but doesn’t go into any detail on what outdoor means.  They do however show an image of its use over a camp grill.
