Faded black MBH. Probably mid 70's based on the plastic wheels, wood handle, vents, and ashpan. HankB has an 18.5" kettle with the same fade pattern and it really shines up with PAM. You should go for this grill as the steel/porcelain is much thicker on these than the newer ones. That ash pan alot is highly coveted if you want to pass it on There's also alot of members in that area so perhaps you all can coordinate something.
