1958 Newspaper Article
« on: June 23, 2013, 06:13:40 AM »
Grabbed this one from Weber's FB page. I don't think many of us have a profile, or check in very often. They mentioned this was the first evidence of Weber announcing the concept of covered cooking. If true - I'm glad they found this. Three colors mentioned too. I'll take a marbelized please! Interesting rack next to the kettle (on the left). Wonder if that was a Weber product.

Very cool! So in 1958, there were three color/finish options and red was not there yet... Hmmmm like I always say, we're learning something new! Marbled would be cool!

That side table I believe is a Weber. I've got a pic of one on my computer I will pull up later.

Awesome.

"marbled" is certainly the custom right?

I wonder if the tongs with the rounded ends hanging over on the side are early versions of the ones Weber sold later?

Can you ever imagine cooking that much food on a single kettle?

It would be fun to clean too.

What does the 'marbled' look like?
