So this tea kettle popped up local. They were only asking $25. I did a quick little image search. I found one on etsy that looks exactly like it. They are saying it's from 1910's.

Then I found another one that looks like it but its from the 1800's. But it's marked Woods & Bishop.
The lady said that this was in bad shape when the got it so they had it re-finished. It looks like it has clear coat on it.
I thought it was a reproduction so I offered her $20 for it and a little Corona 189 griddle which I know nothing about.
So is the tea kettle the real deal,,,,or I wasted $20,,,lol.
And I found new Corona griddles for $30. But the are a 189Y. Mine has no Y. Is it the same thing?
Thanks for any info.
More pics if need be.
