1970 Weber Product Catalog

1970 Weber Product Catalog



This catalog was found at Weber Bar-B-Q Kettle History on Facebook. Unfortunately the pages are photographed, not scanned at high resolution, so the text can be hard to read. But it does give a sense of what grills and accessories were featured in 1970, and you can always look at the 1969 Weber Product Catalog or the 1971 Weber Product Catalog for probably much of the same marketing text that is in the 1970 catalog.

Enjoy,
Chris

Performer prototype right there!

I find it interesting that the Wishing Well is in both the 1969 and 1970 product catalog, but none were (apparently) ever made.

Want that charcoal caddy

I examined that cover shot pretty close. No ladies in the photo? Was this a boys trip to the lake, or were the ladies in the house? If so, were they making sides or sitting around drinking chardonay waiting for dinner? ALSO, and more importantly, where did they hide the beer and coctails before the photo was taken? That looks like a Miller High Life kinda bunch if I ever saw one! I also can't quite identify what meat they are cooking... maybe a pork loin roast?

Page 4 has an image of what might be an early version of our beloved WSM.... is that what it is?

Probably drinking Blue Nun, not chardonnay.

LOL - I had to look up Blue Nun! I may have to pick up a bottle if I ever see it and see what wifey and her buddies think of it.
