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🤞

Great restore!  Looks like you did a nice job color matching a paint for those grate strap rust spots.  What did you use?  Is this a high heat paint or is your yellow for looking only?

Coincidentally, my yellow was also painted over and I have seen others post restore pics of their yellows painted over.  I don't get the no love for the yellow, but I also guess that is why we have them now!

Thanks. It's not a high-heat paint. I don't fire this one up often & I figured it would char into black over time (wanted to conceal the ugly paint that was embedded in the bare steel). However, since this resto, I noticed a Yellow caliper paint at Autozone. Might invest in a can.

Mine wasn't too bad to begin with. The guy I got it from I think probably did property clean outs or something. His whole yard was full of junk and everything was for sale.

@AZ Monsoon how did you get the aluminum so chrome-like?? That's a helluva shine and great looking kettle.

Over a year later, and I'm pretty sure this is still my favorite kettle in all WKC.  Never get tired of seeing it @AZ Monsoon!
