From my grandmother's attic, this is a Landers, Frary & Clark coffee percolator for the stove top. It also has "Universal" No. 1310 on the basket. The Pat'd numbers are from May 22, 94 to July 16, 07. It is all metal, probably aluminum. I always thought that it was a china pot, but I just picked it up this summer and saw that it was a percolator with a metal disk on the bottom for the stove top. Would love to know more about it. I googled vintage percolator images and didn't see anything like it. My grandmother moved moved into this house in 1953, so I was assuming this pot is from maybe the 30's.
