I haven't had much luck surfing Let Go or Offer Up around here, loads of outdated posts and never had a response to any inquiries Weber related until today.
Found a month old Offer Up post for a Blue logo'd kettle for $20. Couldn't tell much from the pic, but the post did say it had never been used. So being I'm on a Blue mission these days, I went for it - the person responded and we made the deal.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this DT 2003 18" OTG. I was expecting a 22"!

Surface rust on the grates and all the aluminum has oxidation but the porcelain is spotless inside and out.

The lady said she got it from an Alaskan Brewing Rep when she worked at a local grocer and it sat uncovered at her parents house under a covered deck for at least 10 years.

Awesome score! Did you say the ad. was up for whole month before you got it. Unbelievable.
That's a nice blue! I haven't seen on of those before. Congrats!
That's awesome, we toured the brewery almost 22 years ago.

Wow! Rare, gorgeous, and unused to boot. Awesome.

Yes, 1 month ago. Seems like the majority of items are cross posted on craigslist and Let Go. While the CL ads expire or get removed the Offer Up and Let Go do not.
This kettle and another Blue 22" are still listed.
Wow, that's great! It's nice seeing people pick up new old kettles!
My last pickup was a black DE code and the ad was a month old. Took a chance and it was still available. Very cool find for you.
Crimson Performer Platinum "AH", Red MT "P", Red Mist SSP "EZ", Faded Black "A", Black OTG "DE".
Hey 'B', never saw an Alaskan LoGo of any color. Great OTG 18r, my CoCa~CoLa 18r is red but just the OTS. Still need to upgrade her to OTG. As they say; "Stay thirsty my friend ...".
