    AnythingOb…
    (1778 items)

    From the cleanout house, just because it was there. ;-)

    Its about 8" across and 2-1/4" deep, and weighs nearly 2-1/2lbs...definitely a potential 'skull cracker'. <lol> 12 distinct 'cig/cigar' indentations around its rim.

    Now to its "pattern". There are four matching kinda roundish 'impressions' of something spaced around its exterior, all divided by matching bits of 'fancywork' decoration. TRY AS I MIGHT (still trying, btw) I simply CANNOT identify what those roundish things are really supposed to be. Mebbe they're flowers...mebbe they're fruit...mebbe they're dog faces...???? Each time I look again, from whatever angle/side/upside down/perspective -- I JUST CAN'T SEE IT....???? <headdesk><LOL>

    ANYBODY GOTS ANOTHER SUGGESTION...???? <giggle>

    No markings of any kind otherwise on it, a plain bottom with just a little bit of 'table wear' to its edge, and only a few relatively tiny fleabites on it otherwise. I wanna guess 1970's or newer, that's just a guess too.

      I think you made me see those Dog faces now it’s all I can see

      <LOLOL> Vynil!!! Glad I'm not the only one...truth be told that was late the evening after I took the several dozen pics I had to sort thru to get to the 4 I showed (it also *ain't* an easy thing to get phonecam pics of?!) while -- really and truly -- glancing at it held upside down (in my normal late-nite array of anything *but* standard white non-blinkie lamps/lightbulbs) when I caught that 'puppy dog' face myself...??

      I thought you guys were kidding....but in picture 1, I’m seeing Pluto!
      Surely not on an ashtray though.

      SO HAPPY for all the <love it>s from Vynil33rpm, MALKEY, fortapache, Watchsearcher, vetraio50, & Brunswick!!!!!!!!!!

      "Pluto" probably not Watchsearcher -- if so, it'd no doubt have a Disney trademark on it somewhere too...those folks don't fool around with their legal rights to all that sorta stuff... <lol>

      That gave me a chuckle, AO. :-) I knew it was the meds!
