Nice score on the O Code!  BAR-B-KETTLE, Weber's "Silver" of the 1990s. Seems the handles on the basic BBKs/daisy wheeler kettles by the 90s were unfinished whitewood, but on a One Touch from the same era, they had that orangish-redwood hue to them... Awesome find! Now break her in properly and some slap T-bones on! 8)

Nice find! I didn't know the daisy vent holes were tear drop shaped, I imagined a complete circle.

Is it odd that the bowl vents aren't already riveted on? It's like it has replacements or something.

This level of kettle from the 90s did not have riveted vents, the purchaser installed them.  Similar Kenmore/Sears kettles from earlier had the same arrangement.

I've seen these cheapo 18.5" kettles before, but never NIB. They have the cheaper triangle with one perpendicular support, unstained handles, no weber whitewalls, and bolt on lower vents.

Bar B Kettles (daisy wheelers in the 1990s) were by then the base model. Whitewalls not included.

I'm with MrHoss and mrbill - I find myself using the 18" more than the 22" for most everyday cooks. For just me and my girlfriend, the 18" is a great cooker.

Very cool find, congrats!
