    Unbelievable, isn't it? Combining asbestos and smoking. I was attracted to it purely from the history of asbestos and its weathered look. The telephone numbers date it mid to late 60's, it's difficult to nail a specific date, but from the look of it, it sure has had a hard life.
    Despite its dubious heritage, it's still an interesting ashtray to own.

      AH ! Nicotine & asbestos ! Great combination !! Guess they wanted to sell cigarette papers made with asbestos ?

      Spot on, blunderbuss2. It's amazing to see that combination in these more enlightened days, isn't it?
