I picked up this Weber for parts this afternoon, cheap as chips..
Sold as a K model..
But what on earth is going on with this engraving???
It looks like an upside down, lower case k??
Weird??

This is a great place to find obscure data gleaned from the world stage by Dan Hoo! There are some very well versed historians here, someone can always help you out around here.

Tim, I'll share one of my secrets: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=weber+kettle+k+code+crooked
