Who has the oldest Weber grill?

[dronfield BBQ Ranch]

Have got to reply to this now, i have just cleared behind my shed which i have never done since we moved in 2004 Aug, and guess what was in the pile, YES a Weber 47cm origional on touch which, now has new dust collector, new grills, new air vent on bottom, just trying to find some handles as these are wood and rotten. I guess it's a bit like Triggers Broom (from only fools and horses) it must be 10yrs old but all parts now are new except the bowl and lid.

When I use to sell Weber's I had an old couple come in one day after accessories and while talking to them I found out they owned a Weber 57 and had had it for 30years! I was very impressed to say the least.

I seen this post and I would like to tell you about my Weber.
It's not the oldest because they started in 1952. I believe it is 1955 model. It has one vents in the bowl, it has welded trusses to hold the coal and cooking grates (earlier models the grates just laid in the bowl), there is an axle between the wheels (there was no axle on earlier models).
The flatter lid with metal handle, red wheels, thumb screws on leg sockets, long stripped tread on tires, no bottom shelf/tray, I think it dates to the 1955 model year.
