Early morning pick up red kettle way older than I thought
« on: April 28, 2017, 10:28:39 AM »
So I met a guy at 5:30 this morning for the grill exchange before work saw a red kettle smaller tab on top in pics online but when he showed up I see it's got thumbscrew legs and steel wheel obviously not used much and stored inside thumbscrews all turn easy but it looks like he knocked it over at some point bowl and lid out of round bit of a kink in the side rim I think I can straiten it out with some hugs and rubber mallet I was so stoked after I got it home and hosed the dust off the lid real quick not much time to mess with it before I had to take off to work I believe it's a 64-66 not sure how to pin it down closer

That's a beauty!  Pre patent pending, and it looks barely used...congrats!

That's a nice one! With the rounded small lid vent tab that narrows it to a 1965-68. 1964-early 1965 had a square tab Arlington Heights lid vent.
