Another vote for keeping the table.  I think it's pretty cool and if you were going to cook on it, functional as well.  That's a beauty and a hell of a score.  Congrats!

Great find and cleanup, congrats!  My vote is to keep the table too. 

I think from those wheels you've got a '73-'75. '73 was the when the all plastic wheels started.  I can't tell from the pictures, but do the bowl vents have large or small tabs? Small = '74 or earlier, large = '75+.

Bowl vents are small tabbed.

Looks like you've got yourself a '73 or '74 redhead.

Very nice score.  Don't even think about removing that table.

@Neil_VTOO, your depth of knowledge has been super helpful.

@Mr.CPHo - I can't take any credit for it.  My knowledge is all based on looking at the old catalogs and the Age Guide provided by the WKC brain-trust.

Wow, that is beautiful.  It is in such great shape.  Definitely keep the table and cook on it!  Glad you found it.

Love the grill. I would keep the table if it was mine.
Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

@Cellar2ful So did you ever hear any info on the inside bowl color. Would be intersted in knowing the story. And +1 for keeping the side-table........although a matching exotic wood lid handle and side table from a certain someone might be a nice update. Just sayin'
I'll find you, Westerner

The strange part about that bluish porcelain inside the bowl is that it was more common around 1965-1968 era (pre PAT PENDING) Sweet red at any rate and I think it's cool to see even back in the day, people were doing cool mods like this. Enjoy it!

Thank you Neil_VT00. I'll go with '73 as that was my high school graduation year. Always wanted a redhead in high school but that is another subject.

That makes this kettle even more interesting then.  Anyone else have blue bowls?   ;D   Seriously though, I might have to pose that question on a different thread. I would be interested to see.
