Just imagine the sounds of that factory back in the day. Big boxes full of metal bowl/lid handles being welded on. As those were supplied to not only Weber but to many tool/utility box makers as well. I bet the sockets were welded on my hand back then.

@Craig   Did you guys figure out the supplier of the metal wheels with rubber tread?  A couple years ago a name (or two) was mentioned.  Also, Jeff found a vintage golf caddie with the same wheels.

I found this stamped on the inside of the rubber tread "Circle Engineering" ... and they are still around! http://www.circleeng.com/ Sterling Heights

Maybe @LightningBoldtz can walk over and pick up some NOS metal wheels for us all

[harris92]

That is the name.  Thanks!  It would be interesting to know all the suppliers.

That is literally a mile from my house.

I could use a couple of wheels if you get the chance!
