18" Avacado Score
« on: July 27, 2019, 04:23:13 PM »
Hey Guys! I picked up a nice 18" Avacado, that was in terrific shape and from the guys mouth himself, the deal of the century at $30.  This looked like it was barely used and it was taken care of very well, i'm looking forward to getting a chance to clean it up a bit and make it really shine.

Any experts on here know what year this was made?  I'm thinking sometime in the 60's from the age guide.  It has thumbscrews, wood handle, steel wheels with rubber treads, no "letter" or "pat pending" on the lid vent.

I don't know. These things lose at least 20% of their value once you take them off the lot.  I will do you  favor and take it off your hands for $35. lol

Nice score!

Haha, thanks guys.  I must have been in the right place at the right time because the guys said he needed to sell it today or else it was likely headed for a dumpster with the rest of the garage he was cleaning.

Don’t do it! That ice box is a classic and will probably run another 30 years.

Wow! It looks like it came out of a 50+ year time capsule.

I swear, when I score a great deal on a 26" I'll stop buying grills... So often.

Wow.  Gorgeous Mediterranean.  Metal wheels, thumbscrews, small tab bowl vents and pre "Pat Pending" lid vent.  1967-1968 would be my guess.  Congratulations.
