Nice save.  Looks like it needs to be in the Patina Appreciation Society (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/'patina'-appreciation-society-weathered-warriors/). What are your plans for it?

Its another Wun Wheeled Wonder.

Dont over clean it, you dont want it to look new again or strip its character.

I really like the handle.

Abandoned, faded patina, blown tire, triangle upside down, no ash pan and caddywompus.  Even with all that thrown at it, it's still surviving and ready to cook.

"Chasing Classic Kettles".  That is my tag line I use when my wife and I jump in our truck to pick up a kettle.   Kudos to you  @papag_24 on the save and leaving it original. As they say in the vintage car world, "They're only original once".

I run into Wayne Carini every year in Carmel during the Concours d'Elegance week in August.
