Looking for stand-up ashtray

[gui_tarzan]

I've been watching eBay for one but haven't found one I like or is cheap enough. I love the deco look. I'd even take one without an ashtray (around 6-7") because the local antique shop has a nice amber one.

Anyone have an old crusty one laying around?

I have one from the 1960s. Is that too new?

I don't understand what you mean by "deco" look, do you mean "art deco"?

 

[gui_tarzan]

No, it's not to new. Do you have pics?

 

[CoventryCat86]

Lemme go pull it out of the attic and see if I can remember my fotoki password....

If not, I'll have to email them to you.

 

[gui_tarzan]

Ok, thanks.

That's very nice. What do you need to get for it?

check out http://www.stinkycigar.com/AshtrayStand/ fantastic stand to put an ashtray on! If there's an interest, I may be able to get a group buy price on them. Just a thought!

You actually want this freakin' thing?:grin:

Actually, I have no idea. Unfortunately, my guess is that shipping would be a killer because this thing is HEAVY.

How's $50.00 + shipping sound?

The history behind this is my mother bought this brand new for my father sometime in the late 1960s when he used to smoke. I remember her buying it (I was born in 1961). He quit smoking in 1973 and this thing has been kicking around our house ever since then and hasn't been used as an ashtray since 1973.

oh yes, 1973, a very sad year, unless he quite smoking cigarettes only!!!!

He was diagnosed with emphysema that year and had to quit smoking everything. He was only 48.

:eyequiver :sadpace: :crytears: Sorry my friend!

 

[gui_tarzan]

Ah, it's probably worth it but too rich for me. Sorry about your dad.

Nice, basic stand. Not too flashy. In good shape for being that old.

Hal, how much are you looking to spend, just in case I stumble across something?

 

[Jwrussell]

Now THAT's a cool ashtray!

That is cool. Although I do like Coventrys ashtray. You can't get stuff like that anymore.

I'll keep an eye out too Jim.

I have quite a few different ashtrays my Dad found at estate sales and the like.

Maybe he can find one for you.

Jwrussell! Very cool ashtray and then saw 95 freakin bones for shipping! Not that cool!!

I noticed the same thing. I was like ohhh this is nice...maybe I'll bid. Looked at shipping and thought otherwise!

 

[ohpus]

95 bucks, is that actually shipping cost or is the pin head making money on that end too?
