Not a pat pend, but an O code, 1992. Pat pending were between 69' and 72'. It's a beautiful red!

Thanks.
Picked up an oscillating tool to lop off what's left of the one touch system in the bottom.  There's one of the wooden handles missing. The legs will clean up fine I'm thinking.
A few chips on the bowl. 
She'll be a cooker for sure.  Probably spring for a new ash pan, ash sweeps and sand and spar varnish the handles that are on there.  That's the plan for now.  I'm super anxious to see how much of the original color I can get back. She's faded some.

Pat Pending would actually say "pat pending" on the vent

I'd say you can salvage the handles. Here is a before and after of a wooden handle. Sanded to good wood and then refinished with spar varnish:

@captjoe06, I'm excited to follow your progress on your new redhead.  So much fun to bring these old girls back to life.  Before, during, and after pics of handle salvage:

Cool,  did you use any wood filler before you sanded?

Looking at her in the light she's got a good amount of fade that doesn't look like will come back but I'm still digging the dings and "character".
