Old Dutch knows what's up.

Old Dutch is getting sued.

Any company, any product -even greeting card companies and their father's days cards, Weber had a form letter of cease and desist if anything remotely looked like a 3 legged kettle or had a handle on top.  If you take graphic arts and graphic design courses, this is actually mentioned in "DO NOT EVER CONSIDER USING".

Funny.. I had a big "discussion" with my old boss at Weber when he wanted to move the handle to the front of the higher end charcoal -which looks like what they did on the Summit.  Weber has a bit of protection with the silhouette of a kettle shape and the trademark with the handle on top.  I had advice from the legal dept that it was almost necessary  -otherwise moving the handle opens a whole can of worms for them.

51%... Good thing they sold off. 

Anyway.. finding those little iconic images of any product is always entertaining.

SEALED??   ;D

Well if it isn't, I'd be heading out to get one that is!

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

It's sealed but I think I will shrink it down and make a keychain
