I am surprised the prices were that high in 1980. Not really certain what I was expecting though.
Hogsy, is this a U.S. or Australian price list? Must be US.
$168 for a Bar-B-Kettle seems like a lot. $525 for a ranch is not.
Thanks for sharing this. This must be the Australian price list... here in the U.S. a 22 in 1980 was around $60-$70. Hogsy, was this the first year that Weber was available in Oz?
I did not know Ranches were offered in Oz.
Its an Aussie price list. What is suprising is that old ranch being sold in 1980 . That would be a great find for sure! Just need to hop into my ole time machin, set it to 1977.. Why not 1980 you ask? Well, lets just say that if I could go back, I would have to discuss a few things with some grils I knew or maybe go introduce myself to a guy named Bill.. Bill Gates.. Maybe offer to partner up if you know what I mean.
Oh Damn, you can't go back! 8)

Oh yeah...they were sold here and still are. Golly and I are currently working on a plan to nab one.
The wheels are in motion!
As far as it being an OZ price list , I'm not 100% sure
All the kettle measurements are in inches, normally in metric over here
Price list might be generic and prices might be cost to retailers not RRP
It came with the 78 catalog that was a retailers catalog
