This is a vintage round "UFO SHAPED " ART DECO aluminum tea kettle with black bakelite handle. It is marked "Sears Maid of Honor Quality" on the top.
It has a gauge to measure how many cups are inside, but the float seems to be missing, and needs to be replaced. It is marked "0 2 4 6 8 cups, each cup 8 ounces" in front by the spout.
It whistles when the water boils. It is marked "Excel Mfg. Corp., Muncie, Ind., U.S. Pat. No. D-140754" on bottom, with minor wear. It measures approx. 9-1/2"x7".
Very cool design --- and in very nice condition. The bakelite handle is in nice condition.
