Hmmmm. What's under the cover?

Looks like an old lady's house dress, and just as if it was, I wanna see what's going on under there!!!

Definitely a groovy score.

Yes. What older church ladies wore in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Sweet find!

Cool! Let's take a look at what's under.

ROLF! I have to stop drinking liquids when reading comments on the Forum.  Now I have to clean my monitor again.

That cover is far out man.
I would love to find a few of those.

Let's start with the accessories that came in the package (all vintage and unused)

-roast rack

-charcoal rails

-2 replacement chrome leg sockets with thumb screws

-several Weber front leg caps

-not sure what the ring is and the two pieces in front of it (thought it was a corn and tater ring but looking at it now, I don't think so)

Not sure I've seen a ring like that, but those other things are all parts for the side table! The plugs and caps go in the tubes, the bracket is used to attach it to the kettle handle,  the sockets are used for the two adjustable legs, and the other piece is for tools. All you need is a piece of wood and some shower rod and you have an amazing NOS side table! Or sell them to me so I can do it!

@56MPG- Awesome.  Thanks Marty. I have been wanting one of those tables. My neighbor has mad woodworking skills. Anyone have one of these vintage tables that could give me measurements?

   That is a corn and tater for the 18". The prongs on each side of the handles you jam the potatoes on and the corn rest horozontal on those u shaped parts

@Filibuster - That makes sense.  Thanks. 

that 18 tater ring is pretty cool. I'm gonna say you got a 69/70 18

Wow!!

@Cellar2ful
I do not have the table, but I recall this thread with all that you require.

Yes. Same one that was posted on the Facebook site Weber kettle Fans.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/weberkettlefans/search/?query=sue%20lakin

I sent the person who posted it a PM two weeks ago.  Never heard back until this week when she asked if I was still interested. Turns out she lives about 20 minutes from me.  She had received numerous offers from around the country, one as far as Australia.  She did not want to deal with shipping or eBay.  She is a "picker" hitting estate and garage sales. She purchased the kettle and accessories at an estate sale for $30. For unknown reasons, it sat in the original owners garage, put together with the cover on for over 40 years.   

What the pictures did not show is that the lid had either been crushed or been dropped directly on the handle.  The handle was bent and the lid top was pushed in about 1 inch. It was so bad the lid vent had an almost 1/4" gap between it and the pushed in side of lid (see photo below). It was much worse than it looks in the picture. There were several areas of missing porcelain and tiny spider cracking of the porcelain around the handle welds.

Once I arrived home, I was able to pop the lid and handle back out with one whack from a rubber mallet. For the next 5 minutes though, I heard the sickening sound of porcelain popping and cracking. It now has more missing porcelain both on the inside and outside around the handle welds.  With all the visible spider cracking of the porcelain, I knew the there was a risk of loosing porcelain. Disappointing side affect but I just could not live with that dented lid.  Since I probably will never cook on it, I will have a specialty paint shop match the yellow porcelain and touch up all the bare metal spots.

What a beauty! Little porcelain loss here and there only adds character to the kettle.

It's absolutely stunning. Now that kettles story is your story. Very nice Jim.
