I love Weber history. My favorite era is 1950's thru 1960's. Here are four grills from my collection...
(L to R).
1956 Weber Brother Metal Works - (sheet metal tray with 90 degree edges)
1958 Chestnut Weber Brothers Metal Works - (aluminum tray with rounded edges)
1960 Imperial Glen Blue - Notice white wheels and steel legs. This is the earliest Glen Blue documented and was a transition from Chicago to Wood Dale
1963 Plainsman - A Weber mystery kettle. It was never advertised in any sales brochures and only appeared on a Weber timeline. I have confirmed it was only offered in 1963 in limited quantity. Perhaps the first limited edition kettle??
