Don't forget corrosion and metal fatigue from hearing and chilling cycles.

Cast metals are more prone to cracking than stamped. They are more brittle due to the crystalline structure that forms with the cooling of the metal.
I'd also like to point out that a modern canner would have an additional back up pressure relief device. If anything clogs the pressure regulator (but of food, rust or other corrosion for 60-80yrs of exposure to moisture ect)on this type you're in for a kitchen remodel at best, or a casket at worst.

Carpet under a wood stove! Eek I guess we have building code for a reason. That's a serious fire hazard. It should have no flammable materials within at least a foot or two.
