This brochure is interesting because it not only features the gas grills we associate with the Weber Skyline brand, but also Weber charcoal grills and accessories that were not specifically branded "Skyline" but sold alongside those gas grills at Sears.
Interesting points of this brochure include:
- Stainless steel Flavorizer bars are called out as a unique feature of Skyline gas grills.
- Sears, the exclusive seller of Skyline brand grills, is mentioned throughout the brochure. At the time of this brochure in 1998, Sears had already lost its spot as top U.S. retailer to Walmart eight years earlier, but they were still powerful enough that it made sense for Weber to engage in this special grill partnership. Also, Sears (based in Chicago) and Weber (based in the northwest Chicago suburbs) were essentially neighbors, so a special grill arrangement like Skyline makes sense.
- There is some pricing information handwritten on the brochure.
- Skyline 3200: $679.99
- Skyline 1200: $499.99
- Skyline 520: $379.99
