Item #1 (There are two).  NOS Wood Dale era shish kabob set.  Maybe the only (or one of the few) accessories we can document to Wood Dale, IL.  This shish set features squared handles and stainless skewers.  This set was advertised in the 1963 Weber catalog.  Very nice seller and agent too...

Item #2 Chestnut Coppertone Seqouia/Seville.  According to the Weber catalog, the Chestnut Seqouia/Seville was only available in 1968. This  was/is a Seqouia.  The Seqouia cart is on its way.  In the meantime, I dropped it in the Seville cart.  I may like it better as a Seville but can change it back and forth.  The color is more pink than chestnut and the bowl is solid pink.  Very nice seller and agent....

Wow, amazing finds! It's like a step back in time. The condition of the grill is outstanding considering it's age. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the cart.

Did it come from Maine? ?

Actually MN. Nice that Todd was able let go of some of his collectables, congrats Stephen. He beat me to the Chestnut. Win some, loose some.
Hope the cart has a safe ride. More info on these two items.

I thought I recognized that bowl and lid from Todds Sequoia. Congrats on the acquisitions Stephen! Yes that would be a 1968 bowl and lid since it was with a Sequoia. '68 was the last year for Chestnut Coppertone (pink) .

 Nice !!!!

Still astounds me that a kettle this old could still have what looks to be the original varnish on the handle.....and very few dings, too !!!!

Great deal on the kabobs....nice to see original packaging / shipping info....that stuff's a keeper !!!
