This is an Art Deco Machine Age Smoking Stand, attributed to W.J. Campbell for the Climax Machinery Company. The piece was produced in the United States in the 1930s. These types of stands were originally placed in the lounge and bar cars of streamlined railroad trains during the 1930s. The stand was built with a heavy cast-iron base to insure stability when being used on a traveling train. The frame of the stand has silver and chrome details, and and the top is made of enameled wood. It has a handle on its top that allows for easy movement of the piece.

This stand measures 18 inches in diameter, and is 30 inches high. There are heavy signs of age and use on this stand, including rust and patina throughout. The top shows areas of degradation to the enamel, and there is discoloration. Despite the obvious signs of age, this piece is in solid condition and presents beautifully. Please see photos.
