Brain freeze! On my gallery it's tucked way down on pg 3. Looks great.

I think Dazzo's Woody may have a handle pointing toward the vent, not sideways like Jeff's black Woody.

Yes, my "Wood Dale" has a handle pointing to the vent ...

So is there a definitive answer that says the Wooddale like Harris and myself have with the handle pointing away from the vent is older than it it points towards the vent?

not sure about definitive but seems correct based on gl's last pic.  the skinny metal wheels were present before the wider metal ones.

The next question that comes to my mind now is the painted ash pans.  The one Greg is pursuing has a dark ash pan.  I know the old one Harris had also had a dark ash pan that we all questioned at the time.  The old blue 18 on Ebay had a painted triangular pan to match the blue of the grill.  The Wooddale I have had a white painted ash pan on the top as well as the bottom.  I wonder if the pans were painted up to a certain year.  There seems to be no consistency on paint colors though whether its blue, dark grey/black, or white.

I feel like we are getting much closer, but the question remains:

Wood dale handle pointing away is from ? to ?

Wood dale handle pointing toward is from ? to ?

Wood dale wooden handle is from ? to ?

Nailing this down would help greatly in documenting these kettles.  Anyone care to take a shot at summarizing?

Almost certainly the handles turned perpendicular to the vent are older....I think that is a fact.
