a smoker's companion ashtray pipe stash combo

By Anonymous (not verified), 3 July, 2008
Description

This ashtray is very interesting indeed. I've tried finding out information on it but with no luck at all. It is very convenient to the smoker, as it has not only an ashtray but a stash area and a comfortable pipe rest. It is I guess you would say terra cotta in color with leaf and acorn carved designs on the top. On the rim of the ashtray are vertical lines all the way around. The whole thing measures about 10 1/2" long and 6" wide. The diameter of the ashtray is about 4 3/4". The stash box is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and a little over an inch deep. The lid for the stash box has a fragment missing on the side, as shown in the photo. The pipe rest is 4" long at the longest point and has a nice indention space especially for the bowl of the pipe. The ashtray also has some sort of space with a nodule island in the middle of it.

Re: a smoker's companion ashtray pipe stash combo

I have seen one of these before but never handled one , I believed it is made in production of pressed wood.  Its a smoking center probably from the mid 1940's to the early fifities.  The space with the nodule is for matches.  Rectangular area is for tobacco or possibly cigarettes ,  Pipe rest area should be about 4 inches. In mint shape worth about 35 dollars , yous maybe ten to fifteen dollars.
