Thanks, Hogsy!  It's really fun to see that old stuff. 

BOY, I'd love to get my hands on one of those charcoal chests.  Why didn't I buy one with my lawnmowing money back in the 80s?  How could I have been so foolish?

@1buckie  I traded one of these to Anthony (tatooedant) a few months back.  Cool little galley que.

Even though it says 1980 on the last page of the catalog wasn't 1981 the first year that the WSM was released? Also all the kettles have timber handles more than likely twin rivets (except the 26er)
If it's a 1980 catalogue shouldn't all the handles be MBH ?

Was probably 1981 catalog. They probably got the copyright in late 1980. If you notice under 1980 it says  "CBG-81".
