Dad's Root Beer BBQ.....any ideas?

Homebrewed Q · 10-03-2012, 07:08 AM

Howdy all! My Mom found this while cleaning out my Grandfather's house (he passed last year). We'll never sell it, and obviously it's not incredibly functional over a long period of time, but we were wondering what something like this would be worth. It's made by a company called EHCO, and no, that is not a typo. It's a fold out picnic grill with the Dad's Root Beer design. Give me your thoughts....Thanks!!

Kind of a neat little grill there.......obviously a promo item, from the pictures on the box, from maybe the 70's. Wouldn't have any idea what it might be worth or who to even ask.........good luck.

A new one in it's original box and plastic wrapping sold on Ebay two weeks ago for $55.

It was probably something my Grandfather got in trade. He was a salesman for General Mills and always had neat stuff that he traded other sales people for.
Thanks for the input so far!

What a cool thing to find. You may be able to use it as a centerpiece/serving dish for parties or something like that.
