"Show me your" ASHTRAYS!

[cmdrmcbragg]

We've all seen collection of pipes, fully stocked cellars (looking at you Peck), artistic tampers and some really nice racks. But one thread we haven't had is an ashtray thread. The ashtray is still an important part of our hobby. I don't know if everyone has one, but they are still very useful and can be quite unique.
Mine was picked up in my first estate lot (6 pipes, a rack and the ashtray). I haven't seen another like it on eBay, Amazon, P&C. Nowhere. I like it in an ugly Art Deco kind of way, it has ... character.

What do you use to hold your pipe when you set it down while smoking and where does your dottle end up?

WOOF!

My Mothers ash tray she was a cig smoker, got a cream colored one put up just like this one. Hard to find nowadays.

You need one that big to hold the monsters you smoke.

Everything the ol' Cajun does is BIG.
Good looking stuff everyone. Those really yours, Peck, or are they on the wish list?

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Nope, I own both. The first is an early 20th century art deco piece I picked up last year. The second is a briar ashtray made by Radice. I see neat pipes just got some more of the Radice ashtrays in the other day.

Wife said its an apt discription .

 

[cmdrmcbragg]

Apt description of ... your personality?

I mainly use candy dishes, with a cork knocker in the middle. But, I did find this old Syroco ashtray a few years ago.

Out on the patio, things things survive the moisture.

Here is my collection. Mostly cigar or cigs ashtrays, but I converted a couple. My first was the frosted Italian crystal two finger. It is nice and was $$$.
The stand was my wife's grandmothers. Love it.


forgot one.

cmdrmcbragg, love that ashtray. And who doesn't like a naked lady ashtray.

I'm still trying to figure out why I would need to set my pipe down. ::

But, I love those ashtrays.

 

[cmdrmcbragg]

Really like your ashtray, Six. And that spigot is beautiful.

This is my shop ashtray. I don't really put ashes in it, I just dump them out on the concrete floor and sweep them up with the saw dust. I used to throw matches on the deck too until I set a pile of wood shavings on fire a couple years ago....
