Thanks! Visiting some dear friends in So. Illinois and I mentioned my renewed interest in Webers and if they knew of anyone with vintage ones. They had this stashed away and they hardly ever used it while in their possession. Turns out it was my late brother's and they insisted I take it home...
Always had a Weber, from growing up with Dad's while a youngster to having a couple of my own through the years. Went to propane only for years and just recently rediscovered the interesting history and evolution (and cooking!!) of the kettle, thanks in part to y'all!
I should have taken before...
