Found this locally on Craigslist yesterday. I was pretty surprised to see a new lime! At first I thought maybe it was painted. The seller said he received it as a gift from a friend who has a contact with Weber so maybe it was done special for him. It sat unused since he got it. I put on an ash bucket, a damper handle and some new zavods. It's been raining here for 2 days otherwise I'd have taken some nicer pictures. I've never heard of a lime OTS before, I'd be interested to know if anyone has any more info.

damn that's clean. looks lighter then the uline lime. like an in between uline and avocado ish
That is nice! I am interested in finding out if it is Spring Green or C&B Grass Green which is bit darker. I think Uline lime was 1 or 2 shade darker than even Grass Green.
I would take a guess and say it is a spring green.
I have a uline lime sj, I'll take some comparison pics in the daylight.
Looks awesome, nice score!
Damn that's nice...and no fucking taco.
Is it AT date? 2013 not that old

Oh just re read the title. Could it be an import?

It's possible but I don't think so. Seems to me every import I've seen posted here or elsewhere even back a few years is a taco and usually a mastertouch or an 18 silver. I hope to find out though, kind of an intriguing mystery.
Regardless you scored!

1ROW, man, that is one beautiful grill. Congratulations. And I really like your upgrades. Job well done.

No handle in the back. Perfect candidate to make into a Mastertouch Clone. Do it, do it, do it.

Wow! Nice. I'd love to know the origin.
No temp gauge on there either. My guess would be spring green. Maybe they slipped a OTS in when they were doing some euros to test something out.
Pretty cool. Either way you got something that not a lot of people have. Great find!!!
Figuring out as much about the history is a big part of Kettle collecting as well. You did a great job with the upgrades!

So I did a color comparison today. The uline sj is a little darker than the OTS but it's really close. The 75 lime is much lighter than both of them. I'd say this new one is closer to spring green.

Great comparison! I am also thinking Spring Green. I also have a comparison pic of Spring Green, Uline, and Grass Green somewhere I could dig up and post if someone is interested.
I would definitely like to see that. 👍
Grass Green C&B lime on top, Uline lime to the left, and my Spring Green MT on the bot. right. The pic taken inside so it shows darker but still shows the lime shade differences.

2 Spring Green vs uline sj

Based on my pics, it shows a shade lighter than the uline. Your pic shows about the same shade difference. I would say it is a Spring Green. Only other Spring Green Kettle I know of is Euro spec Gen1 Master Touch.
So many wonderful shades of green!
@greenweb What kind of tree is that sneaking into your bottom picture? It's really nice looking.
Like the Green's!

Lol! I did not even realize the part of the ever green tree in the picture. Kind of fitting with all Green line up pic which was taken last year. I am not so sure exactly what kind of tree but it is huge. I had to look it up. I think it is a Colorado Blue Spruce tree.
That is damn cool and a damn good looking kettle sir

Nice comparison pics
@greenweb, thanks for posting them! I agree, this ots is spring green. Wonder how many they ran like that or if there's a way to find out. Here is a better picture, since it finally stopped raining....
