That was the one north of Grand Rapids MI?

Good eye on catching the large vent on the bottom in one of the pics.  But, is there a way to differentiate a '75 from what I'll otherwise insist is my, bicentennial edition, '76 kettle?

Very nice 75 Gourmet, congrats!

When I went out to pick it up, part of the time I was trying to scan backyards that were visible from the road, but couldn't do too much of that.  When I got close & going down some small roads, I went really slow with my eyes peeled.  Only saw a couple newer black ones.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

You have me stumped.  Make it like Little Caesars?  The first thing I thought of was "pizza, pizza".  The second thing I thought of was cheap & crappy.  Although I admit that although I have not had them in decades, I'm tempted by the bacon wrapped pan pizza or whatever it is.

Glad you got it! Now make that lady like Little Caesars.

It is the second time I've made a trip out where this was for a kettle. 

Both times they held on to it until the appointed day/time, even though they received a bunch of calls.  The other time, someone (once they figured they were not getting it) actually started telling the guy that some of these are really valuable & claimed that Weber would pay $10,000 for some grills.  You really got to wonder about someone that immature & jealous that they try messing it up for others once they figure out they are not getting it. 

Grate score!!!  Definitely worth the road trip.  Congrats!!!

I thought so too when I saw the pics in the ad (which are the ones I used).  I was curious if the "bad side" was not shown, but it is actually pretty nice all the way around.  Even though it was pretty darn far, I generally don't like asking a lot of questions or for more pictures because I figure that will peak their curiosity, especially if they receiver a bunch more inquiries.

Oh yeah, that's nice...

It’s grate when the seller has the integrity, that all kettle fellas SHOULD have.  Be happy for a fella, instead of interfering.  Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same person that tried to mess up my WoodDale score, being that we’re in close proximity.
