    Eg's whale made me realize what this white whale is! Seems too cute to be an ashtray. Anyway, this has a hole on top, naturally, but I think this is where you were to but your cigarette out.

    The fish, from the 50's, was found in the same box and it either belonged to my grandmother or I bought it because it reminded me of her. It has remnants of a foil sticker on the back 'BRADL' (maybe Bradley?) 'exclusives Japan' .

    Too funny, I had no idea that was an ashtray!

    Smiles!

      The smoke from the ciggie on his tongue went through the hole! I have a dinosaur like that. The smoke from the ciggie goes out his mouth. That theme was really popular.

      Nice reflections like fish you want to know. Reminds me of the goings on at Bikini Bottom.

      Celiene, I forget how the good, the bad and the ugly's of smoking were not disclosed back then and it just seems funny. I in fact somewhere have an ashtray and the enamel paint on it is from the "American Red Cross", of all things! ha

      Thanks

      Eg, you are too funny! Mine does remind me of Disney's Dumbo! But even good ol Walt promoted smoking! Popeye, for one...yuk, yuk, yuk. HA HA If they only knew they should have said "excuse the pun" then!! haha

      Phil, I take that as a huge compliment from you!!! Thank you. Yesterday I watched videos on how to use this camera...I am so at a loss. I thought I was getting the Canon EOS 50D! No, I got the 500D! I feel like many times they come out just like the POS Canon! AND, after I purchased it, I found out that it does not support Windows 10. Perfect! If you still have my email and have a moment to explain just the basic on-line sales necessities...The guy I was watching on you tube is from London I believe and he simply speaks too fast ad tons of slang. Maybe that's because I'm so lost with it.

      Phil, I got the reflection idea from my uncle frank, once again, when many years ago he took a photo of my oldest cousin at a table that had glass on it, so it was the same as mine but with a kid! I loved that shot and it's purely accidental when I do it the first time, then when I see it, I try to perfect it and it's always good for a fun photo!

      Thank you so much for appreciating it. Gives me a big fat 10 points!!! YeeHa!

      Karen, you are so right, as usual! She is so pretty and I have just changed up my bathroom although, her color scheme does fit... Sounds weird but it's gray, white and pale pink. She still may have to go, but I love her. Thank you ol' wise one!!! haha
