We are compiling some more information for the history page and we are researching when Weber made the two tone red or "red mist" kettles. It is believed that during the 1980s and 1990s, Weber went back and forth with this. This is a red kettle appreciation thread of sorts, what we are looking for are the following: Photos of two tone red kettles, the date code (lid vent photos too please) AND if you OR anyone else here has a kettle from the same year in a non two tone (no fade/solid red) please share it with us here.
Example: An EO code (1995) two tone red kettle and if you OR anyone has an EO code in a non fade. Show those too. As of now, there are no known two tone red kettles made before the 1980s. So for research purposes, this does eliminate red kettles made before 1980. Sad, because MBH reds are my favorite! So, show us your two tones and one tone reds from the 1980s and 1990s!!
1995 EO code Red two tone 22 (converted to GOLD)

No cheating!
Like this frankenkettle. A '79 red with a '95 lid. Though I kind of like this.. It looks like a Brownie and a Red had a hookup. Ok if your gonna cheat, say it's a frankenkettle...
