Awesome! Did early Wood Dale's have solid triangles?

Yes. The Chicago, ILL and early Wood Dale, ILL. stamped kettles (pre 1960) had the solid utility shelf. Many used these as an ash tray prior to the addition of the disc ash catchers around that time. Can't imagine even back then wanting my tools that handle food laying on that shelf as my open daisy wheels dropped ash on them.. They do catch the ash nicely and don't make that much of a mess. I've got s reproduction 50s shelf I use from time to time.
Matt, thanks for posting this.
