Pat Pending Brownie with Blue Interior

[1spacemanspiff]

I was cleaning a Pat Pending Brownie to sell and I discovered it's blue interior.  I know reds and a few Glen Blues has the red interior.  Anyone know other colors with a blue inside?  A black lid is for comparison.

Seems to me I have one besides red with a blueish tint, I will look, I really like it

Something tells me that "selling it" is off the table now

@brewtownbeatdown   Nope, still going to list it.  The wheels and bottom vents are not period correct.

That blue hue would cause me to hesitate, but I would still sell it too.  Used to be one of my favorite kettle colors, but now I just don't feel it anymore

Learned an interesting piece of Weber history yesterday in regards to these blue interior colored kettles.  Thought it was worth sharing.   Here's a quote from @GrillGiant from a Facebook post yesterday. 

"Weber used several (like 6) different porcelain enamel shops before creating their own in house...if blue...porcelain was done outside of Weber."

This brings up another question.  Do we know what year Weber created their own porcelain division?

1969 according to this article

So this could be a '68 brownie (it's a non thumbscrew)

[brewtownbeatdown]

My '68 Aristocrat has the blue hue interior.  Most blue hue kettles I've seen date to 67-'68.  I'm guessing that this porcelain company had a contract for (X) amount of units, so that might explain why it's a Pat. Pending with blue hued interior.  Early, early '69?

I have a red 22" that has the blue interior porcelain. It has Pat # lid vent, plastic wheels w/ plastic treads and small lid and bowl tabs which I believe makes it a 73-74 by the WKC Age Guide.   It says in the Weber article posted by @michaelmilitello  that Weber would still use outside vendors after 1969 if they were overwhelmed with orders. I guess this red one was produced during one of those times.  It has the bluest interior of any kettle I have seen.
