1972 Weber Floral Print Kettle Cover

[G]

I was fotunate enough to run across this item over the weekend.  A 1972 Weber floral print cover for a 22" grill still in the unopened original packaging.  The original Gimbal's price tag is for $5.95 which matches the retail price in the '72 brochure.  Now the real question is, do I open it and put it to use or leave it in the package???

If you had an unused, brand new Weber kettle from 1972, would you use it or keep it's brand new condition?

That's really girly looking......  You should totally send it to me!

How sweet would that look on a lime 22?   I want one for a smokey joe like the one on the packaging. I had one of these covers a few years ago and let it go with a weber I sold. If I ever come across another i'm keeping it. Do you believe they are really "flame resistan"t?

Very nice Stu...adding to your impressive Weber collection!

That is super '70s cool!!!  Definatly should go on an appropriate kettle! Looks like the furniture covers the Forman's used on That 70s show! That's awesome!!

I am so fucking jealous....I actually have someone making me some covers that look kinda like that.  I found some retro looking fabric and I'm trying to replicate that look.  If you want to trade I'm all in brother!  You need handles?   Just let me know!
