Very nice old bee smoker that still functions.There are no identifying marks on this bee smoker. The spring in the bellows is strong and the leather intact, though a few of the tacks that hold it in place could be firmed up. The heat cannister has a truncated spout, which in my experience, is rare on these old Bingham style smokers. Normally, you would see a straight cone type of spout. Woodworm holes can be seen in the pics and the wood has been treated against further infestati...on, though it appears the beasts have vacated long ago. There are no holes or perforations in the metal and no dents. It has seen use and is ready to go on display in your collection as is or as you like.I am happy to answer your questions or send additional pics. Item ships carefully packaged with tracking from southwest France. Thanks for looking and thank you beekeepers for your work!
