antique Waterbury brass kettle, bucket handle pot marked w/ Hayden patent mid 1800s vintage

Nice old brass pot with a good marking on the bottom - H W Hayden patent, Waterbury Brass, probably mid 1800s. It's 10 1/2" across the rim, and about 7 1/4" deep.

This has a lovely old patina from age and use. It does have some dents, but no holes or mends, it's water tight.
