I picked up this 1981 (C) Brown 22.5 three wheeler for $35.00 on CL yesterday. I has a chip the size of a dime on the bowl and a few minor chips on the edge of the lid. It has "Weber The One The Only" on one of the handles.
It was fairly clean to start:

Handles are dry from Colorado's sun and low humidity. That black mark is tar which was easily removed with a blade and goo gone.

After a quick clean up using some steel wool, windex and sand,stain and sealing of the handles.
The two tone on the lid sure makes these kettles look different than my others.

I also picked up a Weber Rotisserie on CL which is less than a year old for $35.00 today. It will really look nice next to the dark part of the two tone on the Brownie in the daylight.

This kettle has a two rivet handle on the lid and the single screw handles on the bowl with the logo: Weber The One The Only

Glad you got your hands on that one. I was debating if I should go after a brown for the collection but had to pass. She cleaned up beautifully!!
Nice score! 8)

I see you've got space for a few more. ;)
Great score Java! I see a Hasty Bake in the back ground. There is one posted here for $400... :o Just wonder how the cook, as I can purchase lost of kettles that I know cook well for that amount.

Thats actually a Atlanta Stoveworks Q-Cart. ($20.00 at a resale shop). It's my Santa Maria Style cooker. The charcoal grate height is adjustable. It also make a nice storage bin for wood chunks and other misc grilling crap.

Thats actually a Atlanta Stoveworks Cue-Cart. ($20.00 at a resale shop). It's my Santa Maria Style cooker. It has cast iron ends, vents, cooking grates and charcoal grate. The rest is made of aluminum. It is my oldest cooker. The charcoal grate height is adjustable. It also make a nice storage bin for wood chunks and other misc grilling crap. The logo is my avatar. 8)
