Easter Redhead Score

[jperry1907]

I've been meaning to post this but just now getting to it.

Friday:
I found a 22.5 redhead for $30 about an hour from me. I called the lady and said I could pick it up on Easter when I was driving down to see my family. Her response: "if its still here, it's yours". Apparently she didn't want to hold if for me!

Saturday: I could hardly take it! couldn't stop thinking about this beauty falling into the wrong hands. Tossing and turning at night.

Sunday: I called in the morning, no answer so left a message. Called back about an hour later and she says someone is on their way now to pick it up. I was super bummed but what could I do? Then about 20 mins later, she calls back and says she never gave the other person her address and can't get ahold of them so its mine if I want it! I couldn't get in my truck and get there fast enough, fearing she'd sell it out from under me.

Well I made it in time and scored this beauty


1980


Handle is in rough shape


Also came with this charcoal holder



All in all, a stressful but great score. And the kettle in great shape with one small chip in the porcelain! Now I need to break out the 0000 SW!

Thanks for looking!

Excellent score! The charcoal baskets are from the 70s and 80s, there pretty cool. I noticed the double rivet style handle has screws.. interesting. Havn't seen them that way before.

I was wonder about the screws on the handle too. The two pieces of the handle a pretty loose so I'm guessing the screws are some sort of fix. My buddy Tim has a B redhead too that has riveted handles to I'm thinking its not original...

What a thing of beauty.  Other colors keep trying to pull me away, but when I see that redhead standing there, well done-well done.

I've seen a few of them pop up on CL listings over the years. Not sure when they were made, or why they stopped.

I think that 'B' stands for Beautiful, cause that's what that grill is
