Probably '69-'70, maybe as late as '72 according to the age guide here.

Is 'avacado' the official color description?

Believe Weber called it the Caribbean. Not sure what they called the color though.

Can someone verify the name Caribbean please and the color? Trying to help out a lady that picked it up and she's proud as punch about. I'd like to give her as much info as possible.

I wonder how the number came up.

Like if I was going to shoot low I don't think I'd ever go in with a single digit number for fear of insulting the seller.

Good gracious that's a score and a half.

She saw it at a yard sale and thought it was pretty :)
She asked an older woman working the sale how much she wanted, the older woman turned to her daughter and asked how much she wanted. The owner replied "Is $4 too much?"
Some days it just worth getting out of bed. heh

Until she posted the pic on a FB group I'm a member of she wasn't even aware you can smoke in them.

Until I started quoting her info on it's age (info from this site) she had no idea of it's value or age,  only that it was oldish.
And yes, I always plug WKC when I do this for the group members. Usually something like "All info shamelessly stolen from Weberkettleclub.com, the single best Weber kettle resource on the net"

Interesting what a thread like that brings out. Another commented "Got a grey one just like it the folks bought for my grandparents back in the day..." Not quite the same. Patent number on the damper, no letter code. Still a nice find though.
