Yes, the history behind Weber is always fascinating to me.  And I love that you had the choice of THREE television stations to pick from as mentioned in the last article. Including Romper Room and Capt. Kangaroo!  Man, it was a simpler time then!

It also looks like "The Public Has Caught On" to this Weber thing in this April 9, 1967 article from Chicago, Ill.  It mentions that Weber has been in Arlington Heights for two years at this point.

So from 1960 to today, the standard Weber 22 has only doubled in price..
It was an expensive item back in the day, today, not so much..
If we were buying grills in 1960, we would not be able to afford a new Weber!
