Happy New Year everyone!
I tried to search for this topic, but, was not successful.
A buddy of mine was kind enough to act as an agent on this one.
He picked it up near his hometown during the holidays. Paid $20. In fact, he almost kept it.
He turned 40 in December, so, I gave him my first ever kettle. It was a 2011 black 22 OTS purchased new from Lowe's.
I dropped it off to him yesterday, and he has already used it. :D Another convert. :) :)
Back to the WGA:
How do I determine the year on this?
It is clearly a Canadian issued model, as it has both english and french on the bottom label.
My main reason for wanting this was the fact that the handles are in excellent condition.
I want to swap out the handles on my blue OTG as they have the white plastic / nylon handles.
The unit looks like it was used once or twice. I initially was going to flip it. But, now I think I will keep it as a handy warmer.

Nice looking WGA!! Sorry I can't help you out with your question though.
I can't tell you for sure, but the handle material and staining put it as a late 80s/early 90's.
That's my opinion and self educated wild ass guess.
