The Wood Dale Statesman..........

[harris92]

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.....

Wow. Man that certainly is a beautiful kettle Harris.  The red is brilliant and the condition is great.

Sweet looking!  I'm sure it looks even better in person!

[1buckie]

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 !!!!

[Heyjude]

Brilliant Red.. That thing is Bright!

[Hogsy]

Oh man that is a beaut!!!!

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

That is a beautiful grill. I love the look of the metal lid handle.  Another great addition to your amazing collection. Congrats.

Another sweet score Stephen.

Curious, did this come from Rockford IL?

[GregS]

that looks great, congrats.

will you cook on it? 

[harris92]

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.
