Wagner Standard Kettle

The link doesn't work. It's also to a private buy & sell group. If you have questions about CI identification, you need to just post them here.
 
Oh yeah. My question is value. I believe this is a Wagner Standard Kettle circa 1915 ish. Looks like the bail and ring are original. Can't find one exactly like this with "Sidney" only.
 
Usually, pieces marked Sidney in block letters but not in the Sidney Hollow Ware block font (D is more square) are assumed to have been made by Wagner when they owned the Sidney plant. But usually they are just Sidney without the O. In several instances, it appears Wagner patterns with the Wagner and O filled in were used. The Wagner marked #9 standard kettle in the RB differs from yours in two ways: Its Sidney O is smaller and higher up, and the markings are oriented with the assist ring at 12 o'clock. Depending on how the pattern worked, the variation in the orientation of the bottom to the upper part of the kettle may not be unusual. The RB (2005) values the one it shows $60-75.
