I’m on lunch taking a cruise of my local Letgo offerings and I spot this:

Curious, I reach out to the seller and get a near instant response! It’s available. It’s a garage sale from the previous weekend and he’s trying to unload stuff. I leave work a little early and it’s only 20 minutes away, too. This is too good to be true. I did have to get cash because I didn’t have any.....lol.
Anyway, it turns out it a patent pending Easterner! It’s in good shape and needs some tlc. It has some interesting wheels, or it least it doesn’t correspond to age guide. I figured it would have rubber tread but it has 73-76 wheels. They are definitely Weber wheels.

Awesome pickup! Maybe @Craig can help shed some light on the wheel situation.

Congrats on a great find!
This grill helps shed some light on something @Craig and I were talking about a while back. There are two different versions of these wheels, one has straight line treads (like yours) and the other has a center line in the tread (see below). Craig and I had come to the conclusion that the wheels like yours must be the earlier version of that style wheel. Your patent pending is most likely a later '72 that got wheels from '73.

Thanks for the feedback! That’s a very logical conclusion. It’s the first time I’ve seen wheels like these.
