eBay coppermist
« on: May 29, 2016, 11:57:23 AM »
I was stoked to win this grill, and I'm sure it's probably a Wkc member. Question though....didn't realize (or really think about it) but the auction lists this kettle as a 1975, but the wheels on it are the newer style (1977 and after) maybe I'm mistaken. Thoughts???

What does the lid vent look like?  I can't tag him from tapatalk but @craig knows best.

That style wheel started in '78 but of course there's some leeway for when they were released. weberkettleclub.com/blog/2016/03/04/1978-weber-grill-history/

That is one beautiful brownie! With these wheels and that BAR B Q KETTLE vent, this grill is in the neighborhood of late 1975 (Oct-Dec) -1976. Favoring 1976 with those wheels. If it'd had the older style plastic wheels then it would have favored '75 more so.

Incidentally, there are quite a few updates and revisions coming (in progress) in the year by year sections. Several from the 1970s are ready for release.
