Picked up this Wood Dale Statesman. This is an oldie. Handle parallel to the vent and square brackets. It is a bright fire engine red. The reds of the 50's and 60's were this bright. Sweet grill. Ash pan is not original though.....

Wow. Man that certainly is a beautiful kettle Harris. The red is brilliant and the condition is great.
Sweet looking! I'm sure it looks even better in person!
Excellent !!!!
The other thing I notice besides the "SCORCHING BRITE" color on the very old, is the vents & handles are offset by a bit......free-form hand assembly & production back in the day?
I can't look anymore....hurting my eyes !!!!
Looks grate! How about a pic of this and your 18 Wood Dale together?
Brilliant Red.. That thing is Bright!
Oh man that is a beaut!!!!
Great pickup
@harris92 ! I'll bet it looks more "orange-red" next to even the later 60s reds...
That is a beautiful grill. I love the look of the metal lid handle. Another great addition to your amazing collection. Congrats. :)
Stunning.
Not sure how you do it! Another amazing find!
Another sweet score Stephen.
Curious, did this come from Rockford IL?
that looks great, congrats.
will you cook on it?
Yes, I will cook on it. It was used a lot. There are some chips here and there but overall it looks really nice. No, this was not from Rockford, IL. I remember that grill.
Wow that is RED! Beautiful!
thats beautiful
even if it hurts my eyes looking at it 8)
