Pedestal Ashtrays
Picked these up at a garage sale a few days ago. I couldn't pass them up. Paid $15/each. Thought they might make cool plant stands. But I kinda like them as they are..maybe as a catch-all stand?
The one has a glass burnt orange ashtray similar to the one I posted awhile back. That ashtray also has a top that can be removed. Although I'm thinking that it may actually be a table top ashtray? Maybe I got 3 ashtrays?
**UPDATE..What I thought was a table top ashtray is actually a sukiyaki or shabu shabu pan worth a lot of money! See my post here:

My burnt orange ashtray fits perfectly into the stand as seen in the last picture. I notice from the picture that one is a little crooked. I'll have to fix it later..got some new spark plugs to put in the hot rod first.
Here's the original post of my glass burnt orange ashtray..

Most often called amber glass. You don't see them often and to find one is a treasure.
Thanks PhilM..that makes sense..amber! Guess I'm lucky, because now I have 2 large amber ashtrays!
They were usually made in very dark black, the amber is fairly rare find and the ones made of white and colours (slag glass) were made and used when they had more decorative slag glass parts on the coloum of the ashtray. The Chrome ones usually are in the best shape and these ones from somewhere in the fifties to 60's are usually found in rough trashed states.
Good info. Not sure if you saw my original post, but the one ashtray was used by dad in his workshop for soldering. It's been down there as long as I've been alive..
You seem to know a lot about ashtrays...and Phillip Morris is the name of a cigarette company...hmmmmm?
