This is a stainless steel pot from around 1965. The long handle has been replaced with one from Royal Queen. The lid knob was also damaged, so it has been replaced with a commercially available one. It's made of thick stainless steel. The lid is also original, so you can enjoy waterless cooking and oven dishes. The depth is just right for a hot pot. It has been used, so there is some warping, but you can cook very well using the stainless steel pot properly. Please watch videos on YouTube about how to use stainless steel pots. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items, as this is a personal item.
