Woodard AND Blue Seville

[harris92]

The Woodard arrived today. The cleanup will begin this weekend.  A small area on the bowl to repair but not big deal.  There is also a nice area for a cutting board.  I will have one made. AND  After MAJOR NEGOTIATIONS  the Blue Seville is ALSO staying.  Clean up of both as I progress.  THANK YOU to the MIDNIGHT RIDER!!

That's a grail right there if I ever saw one!

 Not an hour ago, I saw a brand new Blue Performer & it's color seems to be a lot like this blue.....almost a slight purpleish hue......

 Nice double score !!!

 Those big wheel ones remind me of something from the 1890's !!!!!!

Buckie did you have a Pennyfarthing when you were a wee Buckie?

Harris, that is two great scores. Congrats.

Oh. I forgot to mention the Seville is only mine for a short time. I negotiated with the Midnight Rider to let me restore the cart. I have restored numerous sets of wrought iron furniture and smokers. It is on the house of course!  Maybe I should take my time?

The Woodard is mine and will clean up nicely.

That's a noble gesture Steve. I think they are both nice and can't wait to see the blue Chariot brought back to it's former glory.

Omg that is just awesome.

Upstagers..! Lol!! Epic score!!
I may have to pick your brain a bit for restoration advise.

Also. Can we get a tight shot of the rear legs? I'm trying to figure out what pattern it is. My Seville is a chantilly rose.

I think I figured it out. I believe it's "Orleans"

The Woodard - that's the one with the gray kettle? Is that a Weber product? I don't think I've ever seen that one before if it is. That's very cool!

[harris92]

Yes, I will get some better pictures in the next day or so.  I was really pressed for time last night and basically took a few shots after I put it in storage.  Both carts are in really nice shape (just some light surface rust).  It will be a fun clean up job and a thank you to the Seville owner for acting as a fantastic agent.

The Woodard is a third party cart for use with a 18.5" Weber grill.  There is a space for a cutting board on the cart.  The grill is a three wheeler with no leg sockets.  I found out last night that this cart was made at  the Birmingham Iron Works for Woodard.

Wow.  Tell us more!

I'm hoping for detailed instructions on the restoration of the Seville cart as I have the identical big wheel cart. 

[Jeff]

Yup...looking forward to details and lots of pics.

Any one ever heard of a Seville (or Sequoia) made in 1980?  The lid has a "B" stamp.  The lid does not look to be a replacement as it is the exact color (and has the same weathered pattern) as the bowl.  The cart is the easy part of the clean up.  It only has surface rust (no pitting of the metal).  The bowl could use the magical touch of the Duke.
