Old Dutch is getting sued.

Any company, any product -even greeting card companies and their father's days cards, Weber had a form letter of cease and desist if anything remotely looked like a 3 legged kettle or had a handle on top.  If you take graphic arts and graphic design courses, this is actually mentioned in "DO NOT EVER CONSIDER USING".

Funny.. I had a big "discussion" with my old boss at Weber when he wanted to move the handle to the front of the higher end charcoal -which looks like what they did on the Summit.  Weber has a bit of protection with the silhouette of a kettle shape and the trademark with the handle on top.  I had advice from the legal dept that it was almost necessary  -otherwise moving the handle opens a whole can of worms for them.

51%... Good thing they sold off. 

Anyway.. finding those little iconic images of any product is always entertaining.

Well if it isn't, I'd be heading out to get one that is!

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

It’s sealed but I think I will shrink it down and make a keychain
