Odd ashtray my folks found going through my grandparents stuff. The lid has compass point etched into it. #vintage
@Geekgirlforever Looks like it was designed for use with cigars 🙂 love tobacciana.
@Geekgirlforever Well ashtrays aren't as collectable as cigarette holders, match safes, snuff boxes, & items with intact advertising on them. Would probably take quite a search to find such a unique item 🙂 I have a very cool vintage cigarette holder purchased for me over 40 years ago that's quite lovely but not used much as it's kind of a pita to use and I don't wear gloves that often, which was the purpose for them, so you didn't melt or catch your fancy elbow height gloves afire when smoking.
@Geekgirlforever This is a pretty cool video about collectable ashtrays. Apparently there are some worth a f*ck ton of money...she has some tips on determining value/era etc. Am now subscribed to her YouTube channel 😄
@Embers weirdly having trouble finding any info on it. But then vintage backstory research isn't my area of expertise.
