Is this a Weber?

[Izzygrillz]

This grill is listed here locally as a Weber and these are the pics, I'm waiting on more pics, I'm new to these older Weber but the handles and ridge on the bowl look odd to me, doesn't look quite like any of the pics on here

Looks like a Sears, Montgomery ward, or Kmart kettle. Very similar but not the exact same. I have a black Kmart. It has a ridge on the bowl for the grates and a snap on black plastic handle that says Kmart. All the vents are bolt thro. Still a good cooker just a bit cheaper than the real thing.

That's a Kmart "Round One" kettle.  Has all the telltale signs: black plastic handle, bolt on dampers, crimped bowl, and no center spine on the triangle.

What would be the approximate age of this one? Still a pretty neat kettle and part of Weber history in my opinion

There absolutely no information to be found on these that I can find

Definitely a cool kettle.  I'm not sure if they put a letter code on the dampers, like I've seen on some (but not all) Sears kettles.  I believe they were mid 80's through early 90's.  Our historian extraordinaire @Craig might know the answer.
