Title: Mid 1960's Smokey Joe......
Post by: harris92 on October 05, 2014, 03:14:19 PM
Picked up this mid 1960's Smoke Joe.  Best bet this is from around 1966.  Speckled, offset handle and three steel legs.  In the third picture you may notice a manufacturing defect.  The lip of the lid toward the left is about 1/8" longer than toward the right.  It cleaned up really well.

Those spots remind me of a star filled desert sky from 28 years ago. Looks very cool. Congrats!
