An ‘oldie but goodie’ - I love things like that! When I was looking at percolators to buy one, a lot of people really loved the old Presto percolators; however, as time has passed, so have designs, the way things are manufactured, etc. & now they’re looking at other brands. You could replace your percolator (if it ever gives up the ghost) with another Farberware, but it wouldn’t be the same. The older I get, the more I realize this & cherish what I do have - mom’s old Corningware percolator is an item like your Farberware. Then there’s the memories that go along with an older item - I’ll bet your Farberware, if it could talk, would have some adventurous tales to tell after 25 years & all the travel it’s done! :-)

Funny thing is....it was bought as a joke gift for hubby. We had been on vacation in Manzanillo and when we woke up Hubby went downstairs for coffee for us. He came back with a pure dejected look on his face and said...those people drank all the coffee! So his sister bought him this stainless steel Farberware pot so we could take it everywhere with us. And we did. It went right along with us, along with coffee, creamer, and even 2 unbreakable mugs. lol
