here's my, new-to-me freebie I picked up a couple weeks ago. maybe not to the patina stage, but still has seen a lot of sunrises and sunsets.

Got this 18" WW from WKC member @dwnthehatch this past weekend.  We are thinking '69 -'70? 

Got the bottom vents freed up and decided to do a little burn off tonight.  Hasn't been fired up for at least 5 years and who knows before that.  The legs are on caddy wampus, which I'm hoping to correct, but one of the sockets has one maybe two welds that have rusted through.  So it may stay that way.  Will need to get some new grates and do some more RR, but it's in pretty great shape for a +50 year old!

Looking forward to continuing to clean this old guy up and get it in the rotation.  I'll get some new pics once we make a little more progress.

Cheers!

Looking real good, some nice patina on that old girl, 69 70 looks right based on the wheels

Hey @harris92 , was this model actually meant to be used in an indoor fireplace?
