1981 C Code Green
« on: May 06, 2019, 04:03:07 PM »
It’s not everyday a rare kettle slips past Chef Matt on his day off (or the rest of the Sacramento guys for that matter).

I saw this beauty after lunch and went to pick it up in town shortly after getting my son from school.

Yes, yes, I know it’s not black. But it’s still pretty cool. As an A’s fan, I can dig it.

Two rivet, tri wood, daisy wheels ...and green!

Congratulations Mike.  Post a photo of the twin rivet bowl handles.  They look so different but cool on the bowl handles.

Jim,

Oddly enough, this kettle has a two rivet lid handle and single screw bowl handles.

@Craig loves the greens... and can drop some knowledge about the double river/single screw handles, too....

I had a green one that had twin rivets on all three handles.  I passed it on to Craig as he had it listed as a grail on his signature to complete his C code collection.  Craig has said in the pass that these C codes come in many different handle mixtures and configurations because it was a change over year (1981) to both wood handles on the bowls and to single screw wood handles from twin rivets. It depends on how early or late in the production that determined which handles they were born with.  Weber was using up left over twin rivet wood handle inventory that was no longer going to be used.  The one I had must have been an early production C code.

This one now resides with Craig.
