CL Lime Score

[5280Jeff]

I got a heads from a fellow WKC'er about this lime buried in a moving sale ad on my local CL last week. I made a few attempts at contacting the seller with no response. I had pretty much given up but decided on one last try. Glad I did... A huge THANK YOU! goes out to"Agent T" without his help this never would have happened. I haven't seen plastic wheels like these on a kettle before, they look like a plastic copy of the older metal wheels. I think they are original, anybody have any info on these?

[Ted B]

That's a beauty for sure!!  The plastic whitewalls followed the metal ones. The wheels should have a single white stripe just like the metal ones have. Very nice pick up!!

That's a pretty dang nice one there.....some crazing on the one side, but man, the lid & everything else looks grate

Craig's the keeper of the vault as far as styles of wheels & really styles of any part.....

Awesome Nice score Jeff!

[MrHoss]

Holy crap that looks beauty!!! Splendid find there.

[Craig]

That's an incredible find! If that is a BAR-B-Q-KETTLE lid vent with those wheels and the large bowl tabs it is from the tail end of 1974 through most of 1975.

[Craig]

Oh and Brian (Zavod44) makes sweet reproduction whitewalls that would make those wheels look factory fresh...
