This is an old enamel pot, though I'm not sure how many years old it is. It is unused, but has accumulated dirt and dust due to long-term storage. The rubber band that was hanging on the handle of the pot has melted and deteriorated, sticking to it. I believe it can be removed with cleaning, but please purchase with understanding. As this is a decluttering item, it will be shipped as-is. Please purchase if you understand this.
