Yesterday when I moved all the grills (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/family-portraits/) I also snapped a quick picture of each kettle's handle and vent.
Here they are, in order from newest to oldest (The lime and yellow are guesses, I do not think I can determine which is older), warts and all. Again, this is not a delicately staged photo shoot, please excuse upside down handles and inadvertent shadows.

Anybody else want to add "handle vent shots" to the thread?
Sure, I can handle it.

Nice pics GL! I love that "The One The Only" handle!
I would love to see a full beauty shot of that D vent. It might just be The One The Only D-vent Weber we'll ever see.

I like how you guys all keep tabs on your vents and handles. Haha, get it?

Marty, do you think my "D" vent is a D?(not normal stamp position) I was thinking demo? It is a MBH, large vents top and bottom, twist ash.
Yellow was gone by 1982 and not shown in the 1978 catalog. Given its lid vent style, ash pan and color I'm thinking a 1977 kettle that may have been a demo..... :-\
When you can, (I know you've shown it before) but I'd love to see more.

I will, needs a better cleaning. My first grills didn't get the full treatment...me bad :( I need to walk through my original Itis pick ups. Craig what will help for identification? As we are finding out, records for identification are best here.

Will do! Not as pretty as Gollys though.
Finally got the handles on the Blue. Replace that plastic handle in the OP with this one!
