First Logo Kettle Purchase

[glrasmussen]

This popped up and it has a logo, "Schmidt Beer". Was a staple beer here back in the day. It is also Red, so how could I not? Both are discontinued... Picking it up after work.** Correction, Schmidt Beer is still available, I find out **

Nice!

Nice score, Greg!

[Jeff]

Ive never seen that logo before...AND on a red.  Nice score!

[SmoothSmoke]

Great score!!!!

We should come up with a huge thread of photos of logo Webers.  I'd be very interested in seeing all of em.  Hundreds have to exist.

Excellent idea, Smooth.

Sorry for the late post. I did pick the this up tonight. Need some help from WKC Grillafella's.
I received this from the original owner. Great guy, was surprised I showed up clean an not in a
beater pick-up truck. Now, here is where things don't make sense...Owner received this at the
opening of the "Landmark Brewery", formally the Schmidt Brewery. I am sure it is closed now.
It is RED and Daisy wheel vents, but an "EO". Should be a OTS?

Cleaning to follow...

Top Lid. It say's Schmidt's, that was he original name of the beer before it became Schmidt.


The bottom, all vents are marked "EO". It has the assembly of a 22" WSM with screws...


Now the triangle, it is powder coated black, as is the axle.


Owner said this is exactly how he received it. Told him about the Kettle Hobby, was happy it
was to a home it would be appreciated.(He had a Red Kettle he gifted to a family member, when he received this one, he just purchased a G/A Performer, talked him into using the gas assist...)

What is going on? First a Weber Gas Performer(Treat it well Ed), Pre 79 Yellow with a "D" stamp and now this?

Greg, it's almost like stray dogs at my place, they just seem to know where to go.  You just keep getting the rare ones because it almost like they know where to go, where someone will take them in. And if need be, find a good home for them. 

EO is 95, but I did not see black base triangles until 2011.  But just like that Snap On SJ, Weber will do special things for private lable runs.  But EO on all the vents seems overkill.  Why go through the trouble of switching bowl vents out?  Very strange.

Here's a picture of my '98 redhead that has the screws in the bottom vents and all have an EZ stamp in them. Is that not common? I believe they are original

I don't have answer. I have an EZ S/S, it has a OT system.

Nice find, that logo on that grill is probably worth more than the others because it's very rare.

This is a bit if a bump, but I was looking for info on black triangles.  I have a P code red head daisy wheeler that has what I believe is an original black triangle.  That is somewhat interesting. It seems maybe there were years after the OT system was introduced where the bar b kettles had black triangles?

G$, there was just recently one like mine posted, I believe with the same stamp code. I am wonder if the black triangle was only with the daisy wheel variety and not available with the OTS.
