Today, I stopped by a garage sale & found a 22" patent pending MBH brownie with transitional plastic wheels where the treads were just completely gone. It's got a couple chips on the lid, but otherwise looked in pretty good shape. Wood handle is there, but painted over. Wasn't certain if it was actually for sale, so I just asked how much it was & I bought it.
Afterwards, I stopped by another garage sale & found a 22" MBH black with the patent number on it. It had a chip on the lid & otherwise looked well cared for & likely stored inside. It has a really nice twit on ash pan & a set of really nice black steel wheels like those from the fairly early 60's to early 70's. But, I thought the price seemed bit high for a black & thought I'd come back later this weekend & bargain them down as they indicated they would only go lower if it was still around later this weekend. Later, I started having doubts & wondered if it might be worth it just for the parts alone. I'm guessing the ashpan & the wheels are basically it for parts because new legs, triangles & grates are pretty much the same. So, I began wondering what people's thoughts were regarding the value of those parts alone.
Thought it was weird that the patent pending browning I found right beforehand had trasitional wheels, but this one with the patent number on it had steel wheels.
