Yes I was, white shirt and grey pants this time. Next time I'm going to color code to the kettle you guys always think I wear nothing lol. I'm in the country out in tn but I would get shot outside without a shirt on. They would be trying to take down an extremely pale skinned blob that I am!

Chasing_smoke, that's an awesome brownie you scored! Mid 70s? The two tone looks deeper than some of the others.

[Chasing_smoke]

Thanks craig! I think it's mid 70's too from my research on it. Since its not lettered and has a pat number the only guess is 70-78 on it. The two tone does ride up the lid a bit higher than some I've seen. I'm very happy with it, I may have to fire it up today for dinner!

That looks like a BBK vent. Small tab top and large tab bottom. Just like the black I picked up. In that case, I think we are looking at 75/76. My gut feeling is the BBK vent continued after they started using the weber vent (still used in Europe), but I have nothing to back that up. Interesting to see the new wheels on there. That kettle is sharp!

Here's the vent pic guys

I'm a member now thanks to LightningBoldtz, kendoll, and Harris92.

Cleanup has not started yet in this pic. Wide tabs on bottom. Small tab on top with patent number.

This is the brownie that Danny C tracked down for me.  Come closer...


I cleaned the lid and bowl.  They are spotless now.  Both wheels have some problems, and the chrome on the triangle is coming off everywhere, revealing rust underneath.  But I wanted to get this guy put back together, so I reshaped the wheels, and sanded, steel wooled, and polished the triangle.  i sanded and polished the legs and put them back on.  Frankly, it looks pretty nice, and since i like keeping things original, I dont mind the "patina".  But I will probably replace the legs and triangle if I find better condition original wheels.





The handle is nice, and not really loose.  For now I am keeping it but I do forsee a Zavandle in the future.

[jamesnomore]

G$ that's pretty fantastic.
