bLIMEy! Some Pat # Citrus ;)
« on: March 13, 2015, 02:38:12 PM »
Thanks to a trade with another club member I am the extremely proud owner of this beautiful Lime. I believe it's about a 75'-76' (?) ... Small tab, Pat # with large bowl tabs.

The very ass-end of the kettle has some crazing but otherwise it's in great shape for it's age. 8) I also must say this is a very difficult color to photograph! In person it's even more of a vivid lime green color...













Thanks very much @5280Jeff for contacting me and working out a trade! I believe (Hope!) both parties walked away very happy with the deal! Perhaps he will share some pics and details of his new arrival soon as well ;)

Cheers for looking!

congrats!!

I remember having issues taking pics of my lime too. As I recall, overcast days seemed best (which goes against the rules of photography!)

Very Nice!  I really love that color, and that example looks beautiful.   If you ever want to trade for a yellow.....

Enjoy,

Beauty looking Lime right there. I think? yours is the same as mine 6. 74/75. As I recall the corresponding catalogue is the only year for that vent.

Glad to see the lime in the hands of a true collector like 604! I'm the proud owner of a brand spankin' new master touch  ;D. I'm a tall guy, 6'7" so the added height on the new kettles is a nice bonus. There will be pics of the first cook coming on Sunday. Gotta give a shout to @TexasOnion, he found the lime buried in a moving sale ad on the Denver CL and sent me a heads up pm. The gentleman I bought it from was the original owner. He had gotten it as some sort of prize from his job at a Massey Ferguson tractor dealership. He guessed around 1973 or 74. Thanks again Matt, it was a pleasure trading with you!
