A Rare American Art Deco Red CLIMAX Cocktail Smoker Stand

About the Item

W.J. Campbell designed this art deco cocktail smoker in 1934 for the Climax Machinery Company of Indianapolis. The smoke stand and ashtray feature a circular ring which doubles as a tray and can be removed to serve drinks. The ashtray has a lifting device to deposit spent ashes into a hidden bowl which can be removed for ease of ash disposal. The ash receptacle has wide depressions to accommodate cigars and a raised portion for a match book. Henry Dreyfuss used similar aluminum and chromed steel Climax ash stands on the lounges of the Twentieth Century Limited and other trains. The 26" high stand is an icon of the American Art Deco Era and is pictured in Duncan American Art Deco and the Brooklyn Museum Machine Age. Appears to have its original 1930's green paint,,? the chrome has been painted over.. The remains of the Climax decal is on the bottom of the ring and the patent numbers,
