Vintage, Unused Ball Shepherd BBQ!
Very nice find! In mintish condition. Minor scratches and a few minor dents. NEVER USED!
Borrowed from the web:Seen everywhere the 1970′s, this fun backyard appliance was a fantastic contribution to Canadian pop style. Relatively simple to manufacture, spinning aluminum tube into the lovely rounded form, this classic design embodied modernism, and demonstrated how the design was delivering new kinds of lifestyles into the Canadian experience.<...br>One of the first barbeques with an integrated cover, the Ball-B-Q combines a domed top which rolls over a double stack of racks and a rounded pan joined to a single curved pedestal. The shape of the ball somewhat resembles the castors that are the main product of its manufacturer, Shepard Products. A brown wood sphere acts as a handle and allows easy and safe opening of the hood. The Ball-B-Q was the recipient of both Design Canada and Association of Professional Industrial Designers Ontario awards.”
The color is chocolate brown and gold. The inside is 17" wide and it stands 3 and a half feet tall. It has a charcoal pan, an adjustable rack, and a fixed top rack. The racks come out and you can put ice and drinks inside. Conversion feature to make the grill a table-top or compact model, assemble it without using the column and tie rod. Simply mount the bowl directly onto the base, using the conversion eye-bolt (which I don't have), with a small washer, sealer, and wing nut. Two small dents on the hood, a couple of scuffs in the paint not noticeable. Overall it looks nearly new in excellent condition!
Quite functional!
