Scored this while on vacation in Northern Wisconsin. A pre 79 with two lids $25 and a 95 Master Touch $30. The MT came from the guy who owns the cabin and the other from the resort owner. So I was fishing for Red heads this year..............



The restoration and rescue starts Sunday................

Nice score!  What part of Northern WI did you find these?  I'm from the Minocqua (and north) area and check CL since I still have family agents in the area.
I've always had gas...  And now a bunch of kettles because of this place.  Thanks!

I was in Hayward on Nelson Lake. These weren't on CL they were hiding and I sniffed them out............... 8)

Hey Bluesman...nice scores.

I just got back from NW Wisc myself.   I stay around Spooner.  I was in Hayward 2 weekends ago.  I scored a couple reds myself.  1) a NIB red weber lantern for 5 bucks at a garage sale
2) a rescued 18.5 red, metal side handles, 3 wheeler.  It was at another garage sale too.  It was off to the side of their little house, not even for sale.  I asked about it and the owner said, "oh, this was with the house from the previous owners when we got it.  It was rough with chips, filthy, missing two vents on the bottom.   I rescued it for 5 bucks.  It has the old plastic wheels on it.  I'm gonna clean it up a bit a post it and see if a fellow member wants to take it on as a rescue/rehab mission.
Kettle collector AND cooker!
