Appears the entire walls are double but am not totally sure its not just the brim.
I can't read any of the bottom words except " MAKES HE " and towards the end says " Coffee "

Yep, I've got one very much like it in my camping gear...a bit larger, but the design appears
to be the same.
 
It’s part of a vintage ‘Drip-O-Lator’ coffee maker made by the Enterprise Aluminum Company of Massillon, Ohio. They began using the advertising strapline “Makes Healthful Coffee" during the 1920s, registered "DRIP-O-LATOR MAKES HEALTHFUL COFFEE" as a trademark in 1930 and it expired 20 years later.

That's the thing, how many people today would use the word healthful? Even among 60 plus year olds ?
Maybe in the South?

I have not heard this word in 10 years or more around Here N. Illinois
 
I can just hear / see the smiles on some people's faces as they take their first drink of coffee in the morning from that Ole pot ! I always made extra coffee in the morning when I was out camping JUST IN CASE someone woke up as early as I do and needed that 1st. cup as much as I did ! :) LOT.s of GREAT memories of friends that will never go away !
