Red Weber 18.5" Wood Dale!

SixZeroFour · March 17, 2015, 09:39:28 PM

Finally scored a Wood Dale!... and she's not ugly

In fact I'm blown away at the condition considering this kettle is 50+ Years old! The kettle originally belonged to the sellers parents and was given to her as a housewarming present when she and her husband got married and moved out (25 years ago!) They apparently used it up until a few years back but must have always taken great care of it.

All original other than the ash-pan - Enjoy!

Once again thank you to @Red Kettle Rich for sharing the lead! This replaces a red 18 I traded away a few months ago (and regretted ever since).

Thanks for looking!

Matt

The more I look at this Kettle the more I think it's glowing.

Wow, nice eye! I took that first pic the day before to catch the cool shadow in time - the legs, wheels and triangle were off being restored.

For anyone who hasn't already tried "Evapo-rust" the stuff is amazing... esp on old metal wheels. These were dirty and orange from surface rust but a 4 or 5 hours in the solution and they are back to brilliant white. I still can't believe how well it works!
