Antique Mechanical Ashtray
-
DetailsThis antique nautical ashtray is obviously in worn condition. Lots of tarnish to the brass as well as paint marks on the top. I was told this may also be an antique cigarette dispenser but I doubt it. Certainly looks like it was used as an ashtray judging from the inside.
IT WORKS! Yep almost forgot to mention that this thing works which is actually pretty amazing considering its age. By turning the ship wheel to the right, the top will both open and close. So it only needs to be turned to the right to function. It doesn't open very much at the top. Maybe about a quarter of an inch. Take a look at the second picture and you'll see what I mean. That's about as high as it goes when you turn the wheel.
Overall I was pretty excited about this find. I don't think I've ever one of these before and obviously, it has been around for awhile. My guess is that this was made during the early 1900s and probably no later than the 1920s. It's a rare one so there's not a lot of reliable information available on it.
