I believe that we all should try and save these old pieces of Barbecue history and I hope more people take the time to research interesting finds like you did .These stories will only disappear with time if we don't document them for histories sake . Part of collecting is the history behind the items and those stories,  not how many pieces you have or how valuable they are.
Thanks @Idahawk.  That paragraph pretty much sums one of the reasons why myself, and so many of us, are on here.  I had fun digging into the history of this grill. I'd recognized the name, Bremer Mfg, as one of my company's customers. That's what really gave the "itch" to research it even more. To be able to attain firsthand information from someone whose fingerprints could literally be on this grill was pretty cool.  Had sent Mr. Bremer a link to the post the other day. It was like turning in a test to the teacher.  Thankfully, he gave me a passing grade.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞
