Off to go pick it up. This picture was in the ad from the seller. Hoping the deal doesn't go south before I get there.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170304/f6591c96c6b1b0b51ff921bc8cf001ba.jpg)

I hope that ad. was legit. Even at 50/50 chance, I would have done the same. Get in the car and get there asap. Why is he only asking $5?
OMG! BEST OF LUCK! CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THIS!
Bait and switch?

How bout that? Best damn little kettle I've ever seen!! LOL
Sorry guys, but I couldn't resist.
Did a little research and it turns out this is a vintage Western enamelware coffee pot/kettle. It was produced in the early 60's...around the same time the Weber Westerner was around. I also found matching cups, saucers, and plates that could purchased as sets to go with the kettle.
Certainly neat stuff. Its interesting how the colors, the fade, and longhorn steer is near identical to the Weber kettle. Makes me wonder if Weber copied this because it was popular at the time?
So as much as I like this piece, we all know where it 'belongs' and that's where it will be traveling to soon.
Sorry for the buildup...perhaps it would have been best to wait one more month to do this!!

You should be banned for that! And you're not off the hook for the new family portrait this year.
Very cool pot through. I'm sure it was made to match the kettle. (Or was it the other way around?)
Now that I think of it. Weber was known to take clues from pottery. The "chromoveil" finish on the late 50s kettles was a nod to the McCoy Brush pots that introduced that finish earlier. Now this? I'm guessing George and his wife were pottery collectors.

holy shit that's hilarious. the build up made it a better end story haha. sigh, I'm literally laughing right now cuz how many times has this happened where you get offered or go to buy something with this much anticipated greatness just to he like "oh, that's it?" I know I have. too much good stuff on this site lol

Being fairly new here, nope, I don't. What is its destination? My house? :)
Now I want one! I want the plates and cups too! That is amazing! Definitely a calendar worthy piece.
That is a beauty of a kettle. Even if it is different type of kettle than Weber. Nice score!
Bazinga! That's hilarious! Now looking forward to pics of it with it's matching kettles...

HA! That is super cool, though
@Jeff I think you owe me about two hours of my life back:)
Seriously though, that's very interesting, and I can't wait to see it with some of its Westerner big brothers.
Haha what a troll. That will pair well with your (actual) westerner though.
Great item and great early April fools, both funny and well executed!
That's awesome! I was hoping it wasn't some ploy by an angry CL vegetarian to attract meat eaters and hold us captive... LOVE THE NEW "KETTLE"!!!

good one man. bastid! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
ohhhhh you bastard , lol you got me good !
That was well played!!!
Well played sir, well played!
I have not been around that long but that has to be one the best "tease" postings ever on the Forum. Hook, line and sinker, everyone fell for it. Well played indeed. Thankfully I decided to go to bed and not stay up last night to see the results. I may not have been as complimentary if I had stayed up. Really is a cool Westerner "Kettle".
I hope everyone got a kick out of it :)

Didn't I say bait and switch earlier on in this thread? I should win a prize for calling it. Absolutely no way it was a real westerner for $5.
