I purchased this Kettle thinking it was an old Weber of some sort. I joined the forums looking for some insight to what I had just bought and well...
As you all can see, it's NOT a Weber. I decided to go ahead and clean it up replace any parts I could which has proven to be a bit of a headache.
I asked the original owner how long she had had it and she went inside and got the receipt. It was a wedding gift from 1978. She had the original receipt but asked me not to photo it because her late husband's name was on it and she was keeping it for sentimental reasons. It was a receipt from a Sears Roebuck's in Chicago, IL, where she and her husband were originally from, but it only said "portable grill - BROWN" with a five digit number next it. "07629" and had a "DELIVERED" stamped in red with the date 08/08/78 written in blue ink on the line under it and the initials "C.B."next to the date. That's all I can remember about the receipt.
I'll post more pictures of the process later on. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get wheels to fit on it and what I can do about a riser for the front.
