Crane Smoker 



1895 Pattern. 



This excellent smoker was in- 

 troduced some two years ago, 

 since which time it has worked 

 itself ra]ndly into popular favor. 



r^. 



( 



Pdtented March 12. is;)5. 



Its Distinctive Feature is the Crane 



Valve, by wliieh the lull idree of the Ijellows 

 is secured wit hout waste, and by whieh also 

 smoke is pievented absolutely from going into 

 the bellows. 



The Legs are of Skeleton Malleable 



Iron, eontiacted at tlie feet so as to be out of 

 ihe w ly ol the fingers in handling, and are se- 

 cured to the bi'llows by bolts instead of screws. 



The Shield Is of Light Corrugated Tin, 



and bags next to the bellows, thus giving ample 

 protection from heat. 



The Cone Top easily tilts back for re= 



plenishing the smoker, and is secured by a 

 malleable-iron hinge, the working parts of 

 which are milled so as to insure accurate ad- 

 justment to the .stove or cup. 



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



eluding Soft Coal. Stovewood, Planer-shavings; 

 and it makes no diflference how much the lat- 

 ter may be cranuiied down in the cup, there 

 will be the same strong blast as before. 



Price, 3i-inch barrel, ^1.85, post- 

 paid; or ^1.50 by fgt. or exp.
