I took this picture right from the catalog





I think it was the only 26 listed, Ed Rielly said this was a 1963 catalog


This catalog has to be from the 50's, I don't think it's 63

It couldn't have been from the fifties because it has a picture of the 1960 Galley Que in it.

How do you know there wasn't a galley que in 58?

That image of the Westerner is the same one shown in the timeline. But to Shauns point, there's the Galley Q..

Looking at the 1962 catalog, the description of the Fleetwood is the exact same description as the one in this catalog (1963) the '62 is harder to read but its the same.

Because the Weber timeline calls it 1960. Not that the timelines are always right, but just going by that.

I didn't say 58, I said I had it marked as 63...but nowhere is there a copyright or dates mentioned in the text

As I recall it said Silver somewhere on that 62 catalog. Can you see where it says that?

Why is the galley que locked to 1960?

The copy of the catalog with the Westerner illustrated as new is from 1963.  It is listed on the back cover (as C 63).  I also believe this is the same catalog that Zav posted pics of.  Based on the catalog dates, Im thinking the 26 was introduced in 62 and the Westerner in 63.  Thoughts?

At any rate, all of these colors would have been equally popular options between 1958 and 1963. I want to mention that the 60 years timeline shows the smokey joe for 1961. Yet the 50 year timeline shows it as 1957. Is Weber showing us the 1960 edition of the galley q? The 1961 version of the SJ? The 1958 version of the Westerner? Food for thought. Did the original 1957 fireplace have a wood lid handle?
