UPDATE W/PICTURES:





What year is a double mbh red bbq kettle...

Patent 3538906. And is this a run of the mill mbh...?

Just patent # and no date stamp?? Prob a 78'... Are the lower bowl tabs wide?

Sounds like a great find!

@SixZeroFour

Ill have to check...the handle..is a double rivet.

Okay..sobthis is a 1970-1978..

The daisy wheel vent tabs are very very small...
