I appreciate all the kind words everybody!! Thanks!
Last night I slapped a twist ash pan on just for fun but with all the other hardware on the kettle being black (lid rollers, lid damper tab, triangle, wheels, ash bucket) it didn't quite look right. I actually think I am going to take this one right back to stock as the contrast of the all black hardware looks pretty cool on the white. There are other kettles just begging to try the zebrawoods - Blue wave SJ is first on the list
To properly pull off an ivory retro you need to go all the way, swap out every piece for older parts and it still may not look right with the lid bale. IMO the OTG kettles are more suited for the retro idea so my Copper will be keeping its twist on ash pan
How are we going to date these without a code?
I can't explain the no date code and think it might just be an anomaly as the new black MT has an "AH" stamp, as does my newer copper OTG with the updated handle. Also both kettles were packaged after 07/09/14 based on the dates on the assembly guides. Funny little fact - the Euro guide is printed on recycled paper and the US version is nice deep blacks on bleached paper
The photos are also accurate as it shows the Euro having the black triangle and ash pan instead of silver.
Maybe in the future we will contact Weber Historical Services and order a letter stating where, and to whom, our grill was originally sold just like many do with their guns?

Here are a couple quick shots of the charcoal measuring bucket. It's actually kinda cool.
