**Weber Genesis Silver B Propane Grill, model 6721501, black** — three-burner gas grill, the workhorse mid-tier of Weber's outdoor cooking range. Photo composite shows: original Amazon Order Details screenshot dated 18 July 2005 ($489.99 + $26.18 shipping + $0.00 tax = **$516.17 total**, shipped to 6279 Greenhill Rd, New Hope PA); and a damage-state photo of the grill cabinet with its lid and side door partially intact but the body resting at an angle amid splintered yellow lumber and wood debris (the destroyed shed's wall framing). "16 years since July 2005" age stamp. **Weber Genesis Silvers are famously long-lived** — many still in working condition at 20+ years with periodic burner/grate replacements; depreciation should not assume short-cycle replacement. Claimed $517 matches the Amazon receipt ($516.17 rounded). [TBD: replacement status — has the grill been replaced or is it still standing as a damaged-but-perhaps-repairable unit?]
