No serial number on One-Touch

[craigflowers]

I bought a limited edition little red kettle and decided to rehab my old Weber One Touch.  It's been abused over the years and modified and repaired and whatnot.  I looked at the age guide but my kettle does not have anything stamped on the lid vent.  While cleaning the bowl I noticed there are indentations where the old style vents would have been.  Not sure if that's common or not.  Here's a picture of the lid vent.  Am I missing something?  What's up with this?

Thanks for your input.

could be as old as 78, but no older. And welcome to the club.

Welcome to WKC.

This is the second instance within the last week where someone had a '78 lid (raised "WEBER" without letter code) but with One Touch ('83-later). Interesting.

Rub a piece of charcoal on the vent then lightly rub it off a little at a time...I think its an O.

Wait! I think I see something.
