Huh. That's interesting. Under the "ILL" writing on the lid vent it looks like your vent is messed up a little bit. I always just assumed mine was messed up a little from use or something, but yours looks to have the markings similar to mine.

Your comment caused me to take a closer look at my yellow 18" lid vent. Never noticed it before.  Must have been the machine that cut the vents.  Mine has the same exact indent below the "ILL".

Trying to make the most out of the material or one machine with a messed up die.

@Raindog, congrats again on the yellow.  I have an extra double-rivet handle and 18" reproduction ash pan, PM me and I'd be happy to work something out to complete your Yachtsman.

Wow! Very nice. Love that yellow. Almost bought a red similar year yesterday from Long Island.

Nice pickup! I love 18" yellows, don't see them often.
