I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
