Limey Bastid
« on: June 05, 2013, 03:22:45 PM »
Just got it home. Have a little spit-n-shinin to do as well as getting a new ash catcher and grates, but I'm diggin it. The seller's photo didn't do the color justice but she was very nice to deal with. She is the second owner and I believe she bought it in 1990.

Her photo:

I'm thinking I'm going to need several new handles for all the toys I've grabbed up. At what volume is there a discount on those things?

Nice one, sizzle.

If I had found a lime, I wouldn't be trying to convince my daughter that the one I picked up today wasn't avocado.

A few chips, but what the hey.....that color looks really extra nice, doesn't seem very faded at all...... ;D

Nice, nice pick up !!!!!

See if you can get a closer, clearer vent shot....this may be one of those where the etching / stamping fades out on the left side.....

That is such a great color, great pick up
Are those the original wheels or the the newer plastic ones?

Great pick-up! That is sweet. Looks like no crazing like the one I have or blowouts from high heat.
