I restored an identical looking Decatur Industries pipe ashtray/stand earlier this year for myself. I paid $18 for it at an antique shop and cleaned it up. I found this one at a junk shop a few weeks ago for $22. It has a Dunhill sticker on the bottom but I can’t find any evidence online to support they made one like this. Same process as before, sand like hell, 5-6 coats of Tonge Oil and $6 for a new cork knocker. I’ve got a good buddy who I am going to surprise with it.

That's nice! I have been searching antique and thrift shops, but haven't found much of anything pipe related. Just overpriced tins and beat up overpriced pipes.
