Found a Weber today, looks old.
Found one today and I am trying to figure out how old it is. I looked up how and from what i can tell there should be a serial number on the top vent. This one how ever only has a paten number.

Wow...that is really cool. Very nice find! Are you gonna try to restore it to a new look condition? It wouldn't be cheap but it sure would be sharp

1968-1970
In 1968, Weber designed a new leg socket and filed a patent for it. They started stamping the top vent with ‘patent pending.’ These new leg sockets stopped using the metal thumbscrews. The patent was filed for in November of 1968, and granted in November of 1970. It’s safe to assume any grill with Patent Pending on the vent is a late 68, a 69, or a 70. The wheels also switched over to an all-plastic design during this time. Also in 1968, Weber filed a patent for the Seville Hopefully this will help you http://weberkettleclub.com/determine-age-of-old-grill/

That one's newer. The 68-70 read "Pat. Pending." That one has a patent number. Probably early-mid 1970s.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you determine 1973?
