Cool old cigar ashtray....

[allusred]

This image is one I've posted before on Cigar Bum.
Posting it now because I think there's one item in the picture that relates to the "period" items mentioned in this thread.
On the right in the picture, below the open match box. s



This Match safe is one of only a few items I have in any way related to smoking some time ago.
This belonged to my Grandfather who was a Pipe Smoker, Cigar smoker...and a Cigarette smoker.
He had and used this Match safe in 1878-1879, prior to going to work with Edison the following year.
It does have some age on it now.
The ashtray is the one I have used since 1973.
