So about a year ago I'm surfing the web and I come across something of interest in NJ and I reached out to
@DrewZ to let him know about it. Can't remember if he was on it already but I know it wasn't up long. Later that day he texts me pictures and I congratulate him. I tell him if nhe ever considers letting it go to please contact me. About a month ago I get a text from Drew asking if I was interested. Oh Hell Yeah! I asked how much and he asked what I had to trade. I offered a few things before we came to an agreement. Well it finally is in the family. All I can say is Drew is one Hell of a Grillfella. Drew and I have met up a few times. Thanks brother. OK, she's never been cooked on. She's a Code 18 with "The One The Only" handles. Absolutely beautiful. Matches my NIB C code SJ

To paraphrase from the A-Team: I love it when a trade comes together. I'll be posting about the other end of the trade after I make a few tweaks . . .
Awesome deal guys !!!
Congrats
@CatskillSmoker !! Looks grate!!
Besides being beautiful what strikes me right away
is how heavy the cooking grate is compared to
later offerings.
Awesome guys! That's a great looking grill. This is such a cool group...

Can you prove it? We need some more data for this thread anyway.

Not really Marty, just going on appearances.
I probably should have used the term "looks" instead of "is".
I have an 18 from that era but the grates are definitely replacements.
Maybe
@CatskillSmoker would be kind enough to take some weights and measures
and add it to the appropriate thread.
Congrats, Colin! Those are the best handles!

Huge shout out to @db3694 for the assist on this beauty. I'm in the middle of buying a new house and picking up another grill puts me on thin ice with the Mrs. when Drew brought this to the Lou Crew's attention, I couldn't pass it up! Thank you very much, Drew.

I love those handles. And you can't beat a vintage unused kettle, congrats!
Very nice, congrats!
Here's the flip side of the trade:

I have '69 cook grate used of course, the new cook grate has less metal and is only .135 for the horizontals and the ring and handles are .160.
The old grate is .180-.190 everywhere and 3.5oz heavier.
