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.
