WHOA!!!! That is a thumbscrew brownie. Legit!! This is THE FIRST example of a pre PAT brownie outside of the '69 catalog. This has to be an October-December '68 kettle. That is friggin sweet!



The 1969 catalog showed thumbscrew brownies but were already friction PAT PENDING leg sockets in '69. This color was not featured in the '68 catalog. This is as early as it gets for a brownie.

The porcelain would have still been cooling on the final Chestnut Coppertone 22s likely just days before this brownie would have been made.

This one has gotta be worth as much as a yellow 18" goes for. I wouldn't trade it for anything less.
  Nice score and great surprise  with the thumb screws. It's a keeper fo show.

You can get the hubcaps at Ace or Lowe's. They should be nickel plated. The Hillman brand match perfectly.

Post by: harris92 on June 24, 2017, 01:27:35 PM
Nice!  Don't mess with those hubcaps they are  the originals.  Weber started using the black plastic in 1968.  I have a NOS 1968 thumbscrew with the same caps.  They are sealed in the original plastic.

I may have mis-spoken. I thought it may have been old enough to have this style since it was a pre patent pending. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170624/8e28688b09aeb620c337b0946cad59e1.jpg)
