Nice ashtrays!
They all put my everyday user to shame. I use a large tomato can that I put a hole in the bottom to let the rain drain out and clip/ bend a side for a rest. Tetanus on a table until it gets too rusty...just start over
I bought this as an ashtray but I've decided that it makes a much better pipe tobacco plate for the garage. I can fill my pipe and anything that spills on the plate/bowl I just pour back into the bag, tin, or jar.

I found this ahstray at an antique store in Cayucos, it looks to be bakelite and it's a design that I've been looking for and thinking of possibly making for quite a while; the outer ring to hold pipes and inner ring to corral the ashes, but still a small ashtray not to take up too much room. I had my Wife buy it for me for Father's Day.

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]
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.

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
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.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

Nice, Chris.
Why'd you remove the picture? I agree that tobacco plate is SuperFly!
I still have a generic brown plastic one I got from Hardee’s back in the 90s
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.

Got a kick out of this one.

That's cool.
I dabble a little in woodwork as a hobby. Had some oak lying around, decided to throw something together.

Nice find
I may have my nephew print me something like that, very cool.

Looked up bakelite, the first plastic.

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.
