Man what a fortunate series of events! Congrats she's a beauty!

Great score. Congratulations Alex. It is in amazing shape, especially still having it's original J hook ash pan. With the lid handle being perpendicular to the lid vent, it would be a 1963. The lid handle was reconfigured in 1963. Prior to 1963, the lid handle was horizontal to the lid vent.

Thanks Jim for the date check! I had it at '62 or '63, good tip about vent placement. Yes, one of the awesome things about the grill is the condition of the ash pan. I have a feeling it saw very few cooks, and spend significant time in a garage under a cover.

Wow! Amazing.

Wow.  What a grate looking grill.  I am learning a lot of all things kettle being a part of this group.  With that said, this is one of my favorite vintage colors I have seen posted.  Just for the looks alone, great pick-up, and honorable seller too.  It was meant to happen.

Amazing find!  Was it the original owner?

Don't know for certain, based on how the conversation went we had bigger fish to fry. Didn't ask. If I was to guess though, they were a young couple with a garage full of stuff...maybe inherited from a recently passed relative? Trying to do right by the grill, fired it up and cooked on it last night! Used a spare twist on ash pan...didn't have the heart to use the fantastic condition j clip

Beautiful pickup!  Glad the lady ended up honoring your agreement.  Things are getting harder and harder these days!  Had an aristocrat in my sights only to be sniped by an out-of-towner who then asked me to agent.  Lol.  That is a seriously killer grill!  Congrats!
