Picked up this Wood Dale Statesman. This is an oldie. Handle parallel to the vent and square brackets. It is a bright fire engine red. The reds of the 50's and 60's were this bright. Sweet grill. Ash pan is not original though.....

Excellent !!!!
The other thing I notice besides the "SCORCHING BRITE" color on the very old, is the vents & handles are offset by a bit......free-form hand assembly & production back in the day?
I can't look anymore....hurting my eyes !!!!

Great pickup
@harris92
! I'll bet it looks more "orange-red" next to even the later 60s reds...

Yes, I will cook on it. It was used a lot. There are some chips here and there but overall it looks really nice. No, this was not from Rockford, IL. I remember that grill.
