Wood Dale Handles

[Duke]

This says it's a 1965 catalog, and it says New Walnut handles

I'm not sure if it matters, but the bottom rendering shows a metal handled red 22.

Could the '64 and '63 models have had oak handles?

Could be 63 MTH pointed away from vent, 1964 MTH pointed at the vent, 1965 first wood.??

Very possible and more likely than wood.

Ive got my 3 ring binder out now.....(nerd).

Duke....those same photos are in all catalogs back to 1963.

I think that was Weber's standard kettle cut out rendering used throughout the decade. It was changed by 1972 at least.

I was wondering when that would come out..

However the catalog that we call 1964 says new walnut handles as well....although it doesn't say c-64 anywhere on it.

I'm not looking at the cat's at all, just memory, bad memory.

And Shaun I see by your tagline that your channeling the catalogs and cookbooks again like the good old days.

Indeed I am.

Im starting to think the catalog we all know as being from 64 is actually from 65.  The cover is identical to the 66 and we know that is from 1966.  Would Weber use the same cover for three years?  Also thinking Craig is on to something with this

Could be 63 MTH pointed away from vent, 1964 MTH pointed at the vent, 1965 first wood.??

I just want to say this is the most fun I have had here in a long time.

And I just want to say it is fun watching this all go down.  I don't think any other group of people on the planet would be able to resurrect the kind of information discussed in the last 6 pages of this post.  Fascinating.

It would seem the MTH pointed at the vent is the lost child in the world of Weber catalogs as of now. As for live MTH-> Harris had black one, Grandpa is one, who else has a MTH->


MTH-> points at the vent

MTH <- points away


OGlenn's red 22 (the tomato) is a MTH<-

I think Dazzo's Woody may have a handle pointing toward the vent, not sideways like Jeff's black Woody.

Winz, I want to thank your for bringing my favorite part of the kettle collecting (history) to light again tonight. It has been a huge joy for me. To see the participation and the involvement.
