Looks like a Cast Iron Drunk On Lamp Post Bottle Opener measures 4-1/4" high x 2-1/2" wide. - Made by John Wright Foundry Wrightsville, PA. Company was founded in 1880 and is still in business.
Any idea as to the age and value?
I have the ashtray that matches! A real one just went for $45 on Ebay. The repro went for $3. It's one of the those things where the collector always knows.
Thanks Vestaswaind. I picked this up at an estate sale. I"ve no doubt it is real by the weight and paint which appears to be baked enamel. Need a opener? lol Thanks again. Chris
I have one like yours, mine I think is a repro but he works into my hobo collection. I would love to find the ashtray hay Vestas you getting rid of yours?
