Vintage Black 18.5" Bar-B-Q-Kettle

[Harbormaster]

G asked to see pic's of my pristine 18.5" Weber Bar-B-Q-Kettle, so instead of littering one of the other threads, I figured it would be best to start fresh.
Here you go Stu!

That is a sharp looking black!!  Handle looks like it has been preserved beautifully. Looks like a circa '71-'75'er

Man, that's extra sharp !!!

Do you know the history, one owner, etc.?

 ...love it.  Doesnt appear to have ever been used.  Is that a recent find?  I think I know someone that would be interested in that if you ever decided to part with it.

My neighbor's daughter had it for sale last year at a garage sale. I saw it and was smitten, but I had so many already, couldn't pull the trigger on the $20 to get it. I told them I'd stop back after church the next day, and if it was still there I'd buy it.
Well it was gone, but that was OK.
Fathers Day rolled around, and it was sitting in the driveway. The SoDT and each of the boys had pitched in $5 to buy it for me.
I have yet to cook on it, and It may have been cooked on once or twice before it came to be mine. I did clean it up real well though.
Maybe someday it could be yours, but not yet. You are first in line, but odds are I'll get a bigger shed first!
