Title: The New Old Stock WESTERNER......
Post by: harris92 on December 03, 2014, 05:53:14 AM
This grill was made reference to here:

http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/unbelievable!/ (http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/unbelievable!/)

This Westerner has never been used.  It was previously owned by an individual who collected just about everything. The Westerner sat in a basement all these years. 
This awesome grill is owned by by a forum member who resides in Atlanta.  We are going to get his Westerner and mine together for an exclusive photo shoot in the very near future.  We may even use a professional photographer (LOL).

Here are a few quick pics.  More to come... Hope you enjoy.

Nice find! Proof positive that there is one of these or a red 26 right under my nose hiding in plain sight.

Yep,  Unless someone finds a NOS original this one "takes the cake".  I 'll post some more detailed pictures when the owner brings it by for a visit.

yeah i doubt that's gonna happen but i guess you never know.

also the white wheels on your really work in my opinion.  they look like garden variety 70s lawn mower wheels but they really work with the white kettle.

both are awesome.

I have a pair of vintage 8" metal wheels with rubber tread I can use (switch out).  For whatever reason I do not want to disturb my Westerner.  According to the original owner, the white wheels have been a part of the grill since the 1970's.
