70s Gasser

Louvered lid? Is that a table outrigger? Is that top handle extra tall? Anyone have one of these?

Nice! That's the side table accessory holder. I have one of those side tables. The handles were taller on the gas kettles.

I saw that one on a food blog a couple of years ago.  The author was at his uncles house in AZ (I think) for dinner.  I emailed the author to find out about that gas kettle and he said his uncle had put it on the curb and got rid of it. 

It looks like an 18.5 with longer legs supporting the tank.  There are more pictures of that out there.  But that is the only one I have seen.

After a bit of research I found out some interesting info
It was called the Thrifty Gas Kettle only available in an 18 . Colours- red, black and chocolate
It was available in the early 80's. I think it was released in 1980

Yep..... Would my home printer/scanner be adequate or am I better off taking it to a professional?

If it's a flat bed and can do 300dpi, give it a try at home first. Looks like the page size is small enough to fit most printer/scanners. The only issue is if you run into staples or deep folds, but this looks like it would scan pretty clean.
