This is an original Walter T. Kelley Co. “Smoke Cloud” beekeeper smoker store display model, not a standard handheld field smoker.
Mounted on its original finished wood base with factory metal brackets, this piece was used as a countertop advertising display in beekeeper supply and farm stores to promote Kelley smokers.
These display models are far less common than regular smokers and are sought after by: • Beekeeping collectors
• Country store advertising collectors
• Farmhouse / rustic décor buyers
Marked on the base:
Kelley’s Smoke Cloud
Walter T. Kelley Co., Clarkson, Kentucky
The smoker is permanently mounted to the base as designed for display use.
Condition shows honest age and patina consistent with vintage store display use. See photos for details.
A fantastic piece of beekeeping and agricultural advertising history.
