Amazing find!

Question: Is this the rarest grill ever discovered by the WKC?

I know.  Hopefully this weekend I can get some better pics.  It's the first time I've seen rings on a 22.  My flat top 26 rings were awesome.

Banana cream is what this color reminds me of. This needs to go into the gallery ASAP. Congratulations!

Kettle is sitting in the garage.  Working on restoring the correct wheels and nut cap should be done with those in a couple days.  Triangle and Legs are next.  If all goes ok should have pics this weekend.
