Don't hate me, but I had this hard-to-find 1950's beauty nickeled ...
Hope this doesn't offend the purist out there, but it had to be done. I bit the proverbial bullet and had it nickeled.
It's about 70 years old. Haven't lettered it yet, though.
Say what you will, but I am comfortable with my decision.

Pretty sure it didn’t have any collector value, so your grate, your decision. Does it still have its SN so we can find out when it shipped?

I have heard of barbecue guns, but that is the first barbecue grate I have seen. Very fancy.

Now you will need to post a follow up on it to find out if you should use Ren-wax or what the best oil is to preserve it. LOL!!!

So, who nickeled it, or how was it done, and what did it cost? (Not that I have a grate that needs nickeling, but I think it is interesting.)
