Yellow Ochre...what an interesting name. Had to look it up.
Ochre (/ˈoʊkər/ OH-kər; from Greek: ὠχρός, ōkhrós, (pale yellow, pale), also spelled ocher) is a natural earth pigment containing hydrated iron oxide, which ranges in color from yellow to deep orange or brown. It is also the name of the colors produced by this pigment, especially a light brownish-yellow.[1][2] A variant of ochre containing a large amount of hematite, or dehydrated iron oxide, has a reddish tint known as "red ochre".
Ochre and the earth pigments
Ochre is a family of earth pigments, which includes yellow ochre, red ochre, purple ochre, sienna, and umber. The major ingredient of all the ochres is iron (III) oxide, known as limonite, which gives them a yellow color.
Yellow ochre, Fe2O3 • H2O, is a hydrated iron oxide (limonite) also called Gold ochre
Red ochre, Fe2O3, takes its reddish color from the mineral hematite, which is an anhydrous iron oxide.
Purple ochre, is identical to red ochre chemically but of a different hue caused by different light diffraction properties associated with a greater average particle size.
Brown ochre (goethite), is a partly hydrated iron oxide.
Sienna contains both limonite and a small amount of manganese oxide (less than five percent), which mades it darker than ochre.
Umber pigments contain a larger proportion of manganese (five to twenty percent) which make them a dark brown.[3]
When natural sienna and umber pigments are heated, they are dehydrated and some of the limonite is transformed into haematite, giving them more reddish colors, called burnt sienna and burnt umber.
Ochres are non-toxic, and can be used to make an oil paint that dries quickly and covers surfaces thoroughly.
Modern ochre pigments often are made using synthetic iron oxide. Pigments which use natural ochre pigments indicate it with the name PY-43 (Pigment yellow 43) on the label, following the Color Index International system.
Rumor is that it could be cooked on.

I suspect this will be another epic, brain-rattling Harris Special. Just open the box and give us a peek.

Flattie is a genius nickname for an original kettle.

Thanks! I figured it had a nice ring to it.. Not to be confused with "flat top" for 1969-1999 26.75"ers... ;)

They did well to pack it in that box :)
Item #1 (There are two). NOS Wood Dale era shish kabob set. Maybe the only (or one of the few) accessories we can document to Wood Dale, IL. This shish set features squared handles and stainless skewers. This set was advertised in the 1963 Weber catalog. Very nice seller and agent too...

Item #2 Chestnut Coppertone Seqouia/Seville. According to the Weber catalog, the Chestnut Seqouia/Seville was only available in 1968. This was/is a Seqouia. The Seqouia cart is on its way. In the meantime, I dropped it in the Seville cart. I may like it better as a Seville but can change it back and forth. The color is more pink than chestnut and the bowl is solid pink. Very nice seller and agent....

Wow, amazing finds! It's like a step back in time. The condition of the grill is outstanding considering it's age. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the cart.
Nice finds!!! Where you come up with these I will never know...

Actually MN. Nice that Todd was able let go of some of his collectables, congrats Stephen. He beat me to the Chestnut. Win some, loose some.
Hope the cart has a safe ride. More info on these two items.

Gorgeous just gorgeous. Congrats Stephen.
I thought I recognized that bowl and lid from Todds Sequoia. Congrats on the acquisitions Stephen! Yes that would be a 1968 bowl and lid since it was with a Sequoia. '68 was the last year for Chestnut Coppertone (pink) .
Awesome acquisitions, Stephen!
I really want to see your collection in person someday.
Well done on both!
Looking forward to seeing the kettle in the sequoia cart. What a color!
Time to open a museum! ;)
brilliant!
Both awesome find.
Nice !!!!
Still astounds me that a kettle this old could still have what looks to be the original varnish on the handle.....and very few dings, too !!!!
Great deal on the kabobs....nice to see original packaging / shipping info....that stuff's a keeper !!!
So did it come pink on bowl like that or did it fade?
A-F'in-mazing!!
Typical of you Stephen!

That's all original. Some Chestnuts had more OR less "misting" than others. This one has no mist on the bowl.
Oh my.....
Great finds Harris, is the logo on the Kebab box the same as your food warmer?
If so does that give an idea of the age of the food warmer?
@Hogsy The font is different. The Kebab is 1963 or prior. I've been "told" the warmer is from the later part of the 1960's.

@Craig @1911Ron Another pic of the bowl. I guess you don't need mist with the bowl sitting in a cart.
