 extracted buckwheat, and our large stock is nearly

Crane Smoker 



1895 Pattern. 



This excellent smoker was in- 

 troduced some two years ago, 

 since which time it has worked 

 itself ra]iidly into i)opular favor. 



r^^v 



Its Distinctive Feature is the Crane 



N'alve. by which the full force of the bellows 

 is secured without wa.ste, and by which also 

 smoke is i)revcnted absolutely from going uito 

 thf bellows. 



The Legs are of Skeleton Malleable 



Iron, contracted at the feet so as to be out of 

 the way of the lingers in handling, and are se- 

 ciiiefl to the bellows by bolts inste:id of screws. 



The Shield is of Light Corrugated Tin, 



and bays n(>.\t to tlicbeliows, thus gl\ ingainple 

 protection from heat. 



The Cone Top easily tilts back for re= 



l)lenishing llie smoker, and is secured liy a 

 miilleable-ii-on hinge, the working parts of 

 whieli are milled Ml as ti> insure accurate ad- 

 .jiistinent to I he stoxe or cup. 



As to Fuel, it will burn any thing, in= 



chiding Soft Coal. Stovewiiod. Planer-shavings; 

 audit makes no difference how much the lat- 

 ter may be crammed down in the cup, thei-e 

 will be the same strong blast as before. 



Price. 3j-inch barrel, >81.H5, post- 

 paid: or $1.50 by fi^t. or exp.
