Just picked this up for $10, and its my first Smokey Joe. I know its not too old, but it has the wooden handles, it has the pat # and says Palatine. I was originally thinking it was a 78 because I cant really make out or see a letter date, but its Palatine and not Arlington Heights. After some scrubbing, it looks like it
could be an upside down "K" but would think if it was a 88, it wouldn't have the pat#. Anyone shed any light?
