Flaws to Note
Exterior carbon staining/soot on the base and sides (cleanable), potential minor scratches on wood. Buyer must verify the interior enamel isn't 'dull' or pitted, as that significantly lowers value.
Selling Guide

eBay (best for reaching collectors), Etsy (best for vintage kitchen aesthetic), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid heavy shipping costs).
Selling Tips
Deep clean the exterior enamel with 'Easy-Off' (yellow cap) or a baking soda paste to remove carbon stains before photographing. Always show a clear photo of the interior cooking surface. Use keywords: 'Vintage', 'Flame Orange', 'Volcanique', 'Wood Handle', and 'France'.
