garage sale find, help identify

[big22]

picked up this grill at a garage sale for $25, tried to do a search on it but nothing comes up, anyone ever see one like this before?

[Mark R]

I don't know but it's really cool! I'm thinkin ya stole it!

If ya don't have room for it.......

[tasterner]

Sweet!

[davefan360]

I did a google image search, nothing. it looks sweet. does it have a door?

[mbshop]

don't care. that is so awesome ! yer a lucky guy.

[deguerre]

Well, it looks like terracotta, and the detailing would make me think Mexican in origin (The supports look like serpents as well as the tequilla barrell...). Any markings on the bottom?

[Mark R]

Yaknow, it looks to be hand made. Pottery and grates both. Nothing is even, but it all looks well crafted.
I'm thinkin it might be toxic and ya better ship it to Florida so I can dispose of it fer ya!:decision:

Good thought!

[Mark R]

Did ya get a chance to look for markings on the bottom?

I would call the history detectives on pbs.
You might have a national treasure.

That's a sweet score!

[IamMadMan]

Great conversation piece as well...

That's really cool looking. Might be worth asking a local antique dealer to look at it. Something so unique and hand made could be worth a pretty penny.

[Oink Oink]

Amazing find! I'm with the talk to an antique dealer crowd. Are you planning to use it or is it going to be ornamental?

This is as close as I could find. The stand is dead on. Third from left on the bottom row of pics.

that's pretty cool, Ill give ya $30.00 for it.

[frognot]

Very cool! No idea about IDing it.

[big22]

Did ya get a chance to look for markings on the bottom?

nothing on the bottom, this is the only other marks I can find

[big22]

decided to fire it up, figured the most appropriate first cook would be fajitas over some mesquite wood, came out great I think I could taste the history :wink:

[Titch]

Looking at that, I would say its an Australian Aboriginal artefact, stolen during the second world war.
Ship it over to me and I will keep quiet and also pass it on.:heh:

[Mark Warren]

Looks like someone tried to make their own version of a BGE.

[TalonBrew]

Not sure what history tastes like, but I sure want one!!!!!
