Need some help identifying this rescue

[Lowbrass]

So I grabbed this from the backyard of an abandoned house next to my crosswalk at the school I teach at (yes I am positive the house has been abandoned).  I really wanted it for the handles and grates but on closer inspection, I see that it looks just like a Weber with some slight differences which can be noted in the pictures.  Without seeing pictures @Bob BQ thought it might be an economy kettle that Weber made for Sears years ago.  The vents don't have anything to identify them as Weber but they are stamped with a "K".  It is an interesting little caddywampus kettle.

@Craig will probably know.

I'll second @BobBQ 's assessment.

No grate straps and plain diary wheels = Sears-by-Weber?

Interesting lower vent holes.

Yup, it's a Sears, made by Weber.
