Thanks to
@Heyjude , I was able to obtain a blue MBH last weekend. It popped up on CL in our area and he was the first to make contact with the seller. It came with a condiment rack and an unused charcoal rail. The sellers CL add had referred to the charcoal rail as a tool holder and it was pictured hanging from the side of the bowl. This is the actual image from the sellers CL add.
1979 A Code.
It has some grate strap porcelain blow outs and the cooking grate has seen better days.
I find the innovative front leg repair kind of neat but not sure I can live with it that way long term.
It has probably the thickest and most extensive orange peeling of any kettle I have seen. You can see a little of it in this image. I will get up early and try and take a photo in the early morning low light.
This one will be making a permanent home with me. It will be right at home with it's little brother, "Baby Blue" (B code 18" blue MBH).
