I'm looking to buy an old fashioned aluminum 20-cup stove-top percolator coffee pot. They were made by Mirro who no longer makes them. I'm not interested in the drip type. The handle is wooden is attached in two places to the side of the pot.

Thanks

It might be a Bialetti Espresso Maker.

i have a universal coffee percolator, original patent May 22,1894. the last patent date is July 17, 1907... it isn't electric.. has all its parts.. Universal No. 79, looks like it holds 10 or so cups, and looks to be aluminum.. it also has a wooden handle attached on both ends.. the removable glass top says FIRE-KING on it
