    Why'd you remove the picture? I agree that tobacco plate is SuperFly!

    I remember those well.
    And have one stuck away somewhere.
    Still looking for one of the shopping cart mounted ashtrays. ;)

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    You going to join the homeless?

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Not sure I follow.
    I meant that I remember the ashtrays in the shopping carts in grocery stores.

    Looked up bakelite, the first plastic.

    From wiki:
    Bakelite (/ˈbeɪkəlaɪt/ BAY-kə-lyte), formally poly­oxy­benzyl­methylene­glycol­anhydride, is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. The first plastic made from synthetic components, it was developed by Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907, and patented on December 7, 1909.[3]

    It was used in a lot of electrical cabinets back in the day as an insulator. It will char with enough voltage lol but will work great as in ashtray

    Looks super cool Chris

    I have an old telephone "butt" test set with a rotary dial made of Bakelite.

    Looks like there's plenty to choose from on eBay. Here's one of the nicer looking ones.

    Daka-ware referred to our line of compression molded phenolic knobs, handles and ashtrays. Yes, you read that correctly, ashtrays- they were quite popular at that time. Daka-ware, phenolic parts, can withstand much higher temperatures than ABS or PVC plastics.

    Bakelite is still used as the spacer in some large ball bearings.

    I noticed a crack in my ashtray. Be careful, they may have become brittle over the years or it may be due to sun exposure.
