For your consideration is an antique Meriden Britannia coffee pot. This one has an enamel insert. It is quadruple plated. It has 2 backstamps, one is Meriden B and Company and the other Meriden Britannia. It also has 2 patent dates. One I cannot read the month, but ***E, 13, 1868 and the other Nov 3d, 1868. Also stamped 36. It is 6 1/4" tall inside, and outside with the lid 10 1/2". It is heavy. It also has the 2 knobs at the side that was used in a stand to pour. One of the knobs has been slightly bend in, probably from storage. For it's age of over 150 years, in great shape. No staining on inside.
