I found this large ashtray - i presume for cigars yesterday at a second hand store in Berkeley, CA. The name - Etntektone Zigarren is on the center with Stamtissen and Etntektone Zigarren around the rim. I assume Wunstorf is the maker. this piece is over 10 inches across.
Nice A tray ,,,,I like the ruler also(264-W) tel.
thanks Vynil. It's from a town close to where i grew up in NH.
one of my earliest memories is from when the Beauty Salon advertised on the ruler burned down.
ho2cultcha, I somehow managed to miss this when it was first posted.
That one word on the rim isn't STAMMTISSEN, but rather STAMMTISCH, which has a special meaning in German culture:

Here are a few higher profile Stammtisch ashtrays (I was more used to seeing the taller ones that made the Stammtisch gathering place easier to spot):
