We began collection hammered Aluminum in the late 1960's.This is the only smoking stand I have ever seen in person.During the 1980's I spent a week at Wendell August Forge putting their files in order so I could write articles for The Depression Glass Daze.The stand is 30-½” at the high end & 28-¾” at the low end.
The length of the arrow is 16-½”.
The base is 8” in diameter....
The piece is unmarked but is constructed like other marked examples.
I believe the paper label was lost before I bought it 40 years ago.
One ash tray is marked Wendell August Forge and features archery implements.
The second ashtray which was with it is marked Palmer Smith.
It has a stamped floral design typical of Palmer’s production.
Pre-owned, with expected vintage surface.
