My best CL score yet!
 

I checked Craigslist after a long day of work and BOOM this was posted for free. They said it was going to be sitting on the curb. I couldn't find my keys fast enough!

It has this styrofoam stuff in it to make it look like ashes. So I think it was a store model and never used.I opened up the "oven" door and there was the original rotisserie motor.

Has anybody seen one of these?

Fark'n cool!!
I'll bet that handle on the "oven" gets fark'n hot...
What is the name on it say??

Not since I was a kid.
I seem to remember my Uncle Alfred using one for 4th of July cookouts.

Very cool! We had something similar when I was a kid back in the middle of the previous century. A piece of history! (I don't think ours had the oven - just cylindrical hood.)

Post a closer pic of the model up in the right hand corner.

Looks really cool!

Here it is

Oven door open

The knob on the side turns the grate.

What a fantastic piece of Americana! THAT is a score!!!

I found an add on-line from 1963 and it was selling for 16.88. I just typed in wards garden mark grill.

Whoa! Nice and unique!

But, that was the sale price... Regularly $19.50 (rotisserie and all):icon_smile_tongue:

My dad had a grill like that. It brings back memories.

i'm sooooo freakin jealous ! i want one sooooo bad.
some times ebay has parts for the rotiss.

Oh, yeah. If you grew up in the 60s, you have seen a grill like this. That style of grill was very common back then. You rarely see one like that, today.

The rotisserie was part of the package. That, and cooking grate that you could crank up and down.

On the downside, they tended to rust out faster than you could wear one out cooking on it. I think my dad may have possibly gotten two summers out of one -- barely.

Even though they suck, it is cool to see one for the memories.
