That’s what the wife has said when it showed up rolling her eyes…
After two years of hunting and searching using random descriptions like umbrella holder and fireplace accessories I scored a grail of mine… an oversized Duracell battery.
Weber sold this canister on a tilting stand to store charcoal. It was available from mid 50s right through to the early 70s which is just short of two decades, this surprises me that only a handful or two have been discovered and in collector hands. The base is black metal and the lid is a copper colour shaped to also act as a scoop.
Its massive sitting next to the late 50s Californian 18” kettle, standing at around 750mm tall. Such a cool accessory and in amazing condition for its age. It appears to have little to no use and is one of very few in this great original shape. It’s the first one on Aussie soil and I am so stoked that I stumbled across this on an eBay listing a few weeks back and grateful it now joins the fleet of other grills from that similar period.
