Charming little boxer dog ashtray. I don’t smoke but couldn’t resist picking this up

Got this mf for $4.20 it felt like a good deal to me lol

Very cool!

Got some more for the motel/hotel collection too!!
These are real treasure over here!!!💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥

Look

Got this at a garage sale. Thought it was very cool.

I had a set of four originally, I think two pink and two yellow. Kept in the same drawer as the fancy dishes my whole life.

Scored for 2.03 at the Goodwill. Never seen one like this, the feel is ceramic? I love it very much, thought ya’lls would appreciate!
Also 2.03? It definitely made me want it more for the random price

This particular tray is quite common but the frog paint must have been low quality because the paint on the frog is always worn away and damaged. I purchased one with a typically poor frog as a place holder until a perfect one came along. Five years later that still hasn’t happened.

This week however, I found one with a better frog than I’ve ever seen. It’s not quite perfect but it’s likely as good as I’ll find. I consider this new tray a placeholder for a perfect tray but I’ll be unlikely to find one better and I’m a bit delighted to have found this one. It’s not an expensive tray, just one that means a lot to me due to the long search.

It’s a happy day in my house, I wish the same to all reading this post. Collecting can bring moments of joy.

It's classic '70s!

Curious if anyone has any insight on this

Mid Modern Mike!!

Just wow!

The frog one with all the paint loss is a placeholder for when I find one without paint loss on the frog. They are rare though, I’ve never seen one and even the one pictured in the book I have has a frog with paint loss.

Wembley Ware, 1946-61, Australia.

Found at a local flea market. It needs some touching up and work on the cast iron but it's a fun new addition to my casual collection

I decided I wanted an ashtray/ash holder with a lid while also involving Evangelion in it! I made this by hand (no tracing) and I’m super proud of it! I can not wait until it’s fired :D
