Holy Grail! Nice pick-up.

How do you find these and what do they go for.

Whats the box say something about an Avacado Master Touch?

[harris92]

Yes, the speckled came in a box marked SJ-200 which is the model # for an Avocado Smokey Joe.  The box also has "Smokey Joe Avocado" written on it.  Don't know what the "MT" means.  I did know it was speckled before I bought it.

Gottcha thanks.

When you get tired of the red please let me know

I really like that speckled. It reminds me of camping cookware.

What era were they making these with that style of handle, and when was it changed to the current style?

Very nice.  I have never seen these before.

1960's thru early 1970's.  The handle changed from offset around 1974.

Oh you didn't know.  @harris92 is actually from 2092.  He's a time traveler who goes back to the 60's, buys these beauties off the shelf, then comes to 2016 to taunt the ever living crap out of the rest of us.

At least that's the only logical explanation I can come up with for this man's collection.  My theory will be proven when he proudly announces the acquisition of a NOS Bouy Kettle.

 Makes sense to me. Putting tinfoil hat back on

He does not find them. They find him.

The thought that Harris was a time traveler did occur to me till I found out that he is fact part of "The Family". Seems he has been designated as the Keeper Of The Flames or some such thing. Whenever highly collectible Kettles are found the folks just know that it is best to send them to him for safekeeping and posterity.

I like the world with that amazing collection down in Georgia.
