Title: Simpson Grill Advertising
Post by: Shoestringshop on September 30, 2015, 03:41:56 PM
Just ran across this in my dads grill folder. Thought someone who has this grill may want to print out the advertising for it.

I thought so. If I had the Simpsons grill I would have that in a frame in my garage.

Should this be filed with the Old Weber Catalogs?

Almost makes me wish I'd gotten to that $100 Simpson kettle before the "flipper" put it back on the market for $400  :(                      SJ

I don't really know ???   It was on CL the day before yesterday, and then I didn't notice it yesterday.  The Ask was quite a bit for a $150 kettle.                      SJ

That is very cool! 

So, in the year 2000, this grill was $150 plus tax.

Using this calculator for inflation in the following link:   http://www.usinflationcalculator.com

Then that same grill NIB would cost $207.59 + tx in 2015 .... Something to ponder when making a potential purchase of an older grill.
