I was blessed to capture this holy grail. Was on CL and happened to click just after the post. Just in AH since getting it home. I have been just looking at it since I took possession Thursday. I have a few pics to share for now, as tonight she is broke down for some detail. I will update when she is looking good. It might be the oldest on record? Historians chime in.
A fea things I noticed, Vent is off center, it has rings and is flat under the handle...

Well it was hot has He!! here today! I did complete the detailing of this grail.
Story on this grill, just luck on clicking on CL and being first.
Back story... This was with one family its entire life. The son was unloading his parents stuff. This was offered to a vintage/retro furniture store. They just thought it was cool and purchased for resale. They did do research on old Weber grills. They believe in keeping local and did not put it on Ebay. Busy day, hot and cloud cover. Just a few more pictures.
Grate tabs that are inline with the bowl handles are blue.

I have recovered the power of speech but don't want to commit it to the forum as it is pretty much all swear words.

Love the gentle ripple in the finish, that's NOT CHIPPED UP, so you can see that ripple !!!!

What a gem. Congrats.

Wow!! Excellent pick up. Just wow!

That's just fantastic. The 3rd Woodale Imperial we have documented I believe? Harris, Zavod44...and now this one?
-
@glrasmussen Congrats Greg. That's a beauty. :) Are the bowl tabs round or square?

@Jeff Maxbobcat has one too. 3rd Imperial Wood Dale so far with the parallel lid handle (Greg, Zavod, and Max).

Yes @1buckie, it is very visual. Actually the more I look at it, it is flat where the lid handle is mounted.

@harris92, bowl tabs are rounded on this one, unlike the Texan I have.

Incredible!

And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world."

sweet melissa - that's a stunner!

... the Kettle Karma is strong with this one...
Congrats Greg, that is just gorgeous!

Congrats, Greg! I know kettle-hunting isn't always easy in your neck of the woods, so I'm letting out an extra 'whooop!' that this one found it's way to you. Plus it's like a time machine for me, since that's the grill I grew up with-- the Glen Blue was always just 'Dad's grill'.
