Copper Kettle

[Sheann]

Hi
I have a very old copper kettle, Simplex Patent No 423201. However it is electric - I bought it at a sale and having looked it up on the net, it looks as if someone has converted it to electric as the only ones I can find are hob ones. Can anyone tell me how much this has detracted from its value, I was going to put it on eBay but don't know if it is worth anything if it has been altered.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Well this older, but in original condition, Simplex copper kettle sold on ebay for �3.70

It's probably worth a lot more as scrap
