Your response is what makes this club so great. Thank you so very much for your fabulous information.
"Smoke Tower" is a somewhat nebulous description of what is shown. The description "smoke tower" probably entered the catalog as a literal translation from the Chinese catalog the information was copied from. The stamp shows a curing tower. It may have been used to preserve pork or fish.
I believe that this is a local post, but that may not be correct. Any and all information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
