    This is a vintage ashtray from Heggie Simplex. It is made of pot-metal and forms a cut-away of their steel boiler. The ashtray measures about 5 inches wide.
    Not sure of age but would guess 40's - 50's

      Excuse my ignorance, but is this a public ashtray, something that would have been placed at the entrance of building for public use, or a home ashtray???

      Thanks for stopping by. I would say it would have been used as any ashtray advertising giveaway. Most likely on someone's desk that sold or serviced Simplex boilers.

      Thanks for the loves.

      I have a few more of these to post.
