Title: Early Smokey Joe Estate Sale Find!
Post by: azbeeking on February 14, 2019, 06:20:53 AM
Decided to stop into an Estate Sale this morning and this little guy was sitting out in the rain! 

Its in crazy good shape with just the minor surface rust on the legs and a little bit of paint overspray on the lid.

Anyway to tell exactly how old this one is?

Thanks!

NICE SCORE!

Those legs and bare metal handle were on the earliest version of the SJ.

According to the SJ history, @azbeeking's SJ is as early as 1955 to as late as sometime in the 1960s when the legs & handle were changed.

Hope you let the cat out of the bag on what you got in return.  It's always interesting to see.
