Weird handles?
« on: March 28, 2017, 09:02:16 AM »
This grill is for sale on Craigslist in Hemet CA. Says it's a Weber, but I don't think I have ever seen handles like this on a kettle before. Is this a rarity that I need to jump on?

looks like a happy cooker or sears model, it's not a Weber.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

It's a Kmart "The Round One" made by Weber (zoom in on the kettle's handle & you can vaguely make out the Kmart logo). Original grate has been replaced with a newer Weber flip grate.

I'd grab it if was near me. Don't see many pop up.

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🤞

Apologies in advance for thread jacking, but did Weber ever make any for J.C. Penney? I saw what looked like a Weber on Craigslist not long ago, but the the seller specified that it was a "J.C. Penney Weber."

I wish I had a definitive answer for you. I imagine that JCPenney probably sold a rebranded Weber, or Happy Cooker, way back when.

May be a Char-Broil, like I used to have.

Ha, it's still on CL, here's the ad. In one of the photos you can barely see what looks like a OT sweeper handle. Very strange.

Neat. You can clearly make out the JCPenney logo on the handle...
