Title: Early 60's chestnut MLH
Post by: KevinP on October 21, 2016, 01:16:49 PM
Found this one on Facebook marketplace. So excited to add it to the arsenal!!!  Had to drive 1 1/2 hours each way but it was completely worth the drive!!

Dumb question but were they made with that color and fade or is that something that happens over time. Same question on all these 2 tone kettles.

During bowl and lid cleaning. Couldn't get to the triangle and lid but will work on that soon.

That is a sweet looking kettle. Nice find.

But stop laying it on the concrete like that.😯

searching for 2 18" straight lip twist ash pans.

Ooh man! Please don't take this the wrong way but seeing that lid and bowl on the concrete made me cross my legs... [emoji15][emoji33]. Not saying I've never done it, just hearing the sound of kettle porcelain against concrete playing over and over in my head... ok I'll shut up about that.


Again, GORGEOUS BOOBIE!! The MLH Chestnuts remind me of George Stephen more than any other color, even reds I would say. Here's why...

Craig. I fully understand your concerns. Please know that I only set it there to dry it in the sun and take a pic!!  Otherwise none of my lids touch concrete.   I appreciate the concerns.

I should have left it alone. I didn't mean for that to come off as if to pile on or call you out. If it came off that way, I apologize. At the end of the day, you got yourself one hell of a nice Wood Dale! Love it, use it and create more stories for it to tell in the coming years.

Cheers [emoji482]

Thanks Craig.  It's all good. No harm done.  Now that I re-read my post, I did not even realize I used exclamation points in the post. I was not upset but I think my response came off that way. We are all looking out for the best interest of these beautiful grills. Have a good night.

I had the same thought! Glad to hear that it was only temporary (and taken the right way).

Grate score! Thanks for sharing it.  What's the first cook going to be?
