Title: 1962 white weber kettle
Post by: kennf on May 13, 2026, 12:43:15 PM
I have a 1962 (?) White with gray marbling kettle that my mother acquired after a sales demonstration at the department store she worked at.  It is not labeled as a DEMO, and was used until the early 1980's.  It was well taken care of and has been stored in a garage for some 40 years.  I have not seen a similar white kettle ever.
It's time it finds a new home, and am curious as to what its value (range) might be?

Can you post some photos of it? I'm sure someone here will be interested in it.

What a first post this one is. It is a nice grill and think I have seen 3 others of this variety. Put up some photos and that will get the ball rolling for sure

Man, that is COOL! Haven't seen a Chromoveil out in the wild in ages. Never actually seen one in person for that matter. Definitely a grail piece there!

@Pezdogs how much did the last one sell for in 2019?

I can't remember but may be able to find some deets. It would have been a 3 or 4 out of 10 condition as every leg sockets was re attached and was found by one of the WKC members in the wild. It did go for a decent amount over $800 I think and would I have had that one in my stable, hell yeah they are a very rare beast even when put together like it was.

I'd try to identify the exact model before putting much weight on a price. The white with gray marbling sounds interesting, especially if it was a sales demo and never had the usual DEMO marking. The fact that it was used for years and then stored for decades could also make condition a big part of the value. If you can post a few clear photos of the kettle, especially the bottom, handle, spout and any markings or labels, someone familiar with vintage kettles may be able to narrow down the model and give you a much better idea of what similar ones actually sell for.
