I have some old Revere Ware pots so I know exactly what you're
describing... it would be very difficult during normal use to break
that welded part, maybe your mother used it to whack your father's
head. hehe If the piece cracked at the spotweld or the welded bracket
fractured you're pretty much out of luck unless you can find a welding
shop that will make the repair gratis, but I suspect a welding shop
would charge more to make the repair than what it would cost to buy a
new pot. Were it the bakelite handle that broke that can be easily be
replaced for like $10. I don't know that Revere Ware makes a 1 1/2
quart sauce pot, I own a three quart, and a 10" fry pan. I would just
buy a new one... I don't see what's to get sentimental about a mass
produced pot you can still buy:
