This is awesome, thanks for posting it!

I think it's funny how they suggest you can use them indoors. I wonder how many people actually tried that?

Also, The Ambassador, has anyone ever seen one of those? I wonder if the yellow matches the yellow from the '70's?

One other thing I noticed, @Craig it almost looks as if the picture of the 26er is a black and white photo. I don't know why they would do that, but even the legs look to be a different shade. Could just be bad lighting too.


I'm thinking they shot the 26 in black and white too. When we only had the smaller file for this catalog we only had the page with the kettles and the 26 appeared grey. Many from that era have since faded to grey like Brian's and a few others out there.

I have wondered about that old Yellow too....if it was the same as the 70's........and if someone here had ever seen or owned one.....cause I do not recall ever seeing a picture of a Yellow MLH. @Craig ??

That's WKC's version of an old Playboy mag. So many beauties that I want, but will likely never attain.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

What a great catalogue, I could perve on that all day, like a teenager with a stick mag
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Is that a Weber Garden Lamp in the very back of the cover picture ?

It's a different shade of yellow. Like a banana cream yellow. Others have described it as "bathroom yellow". Not bright sunny yellow like 1972-78.
