ART DECO 20's DACHSHUND EGYPTIAN REVIVAL METAL ASHTRAY

Up for auction is an original Art Deco Dachshund ashtray dating from the 1920's. This ashtray features Egyptian Hieroglyphic characters and symbols around the lower edge of the ashtray. There is a Dachshund dog with one paw in the ashtray as seen below. This ashtray is made of a cast metal and had a bronze plate over it. Most of the bronze plating has worn off from over the years, nut retains it on the bottom and around the sides of the ashtray. This now shows the original gray color metal and can easily be polished. There are no cracks, no repairs, no chips, no nicks and the ashtray displays well. Overall in very nice vintage shape as seen below. No maker marks, but guaranteed original from the 1920's. The detail of the dog and hieroglyphics is awesome and second to none. Measures approx. 2 inches tall by 3 3/8 inches wide. The dog figure is attached with an original flathead screw and can be removed. Very rare ashtray and is a must for any Dachshund or Art Deco collector. This item was found at a recent 80 year estate and has been safely stored away for years. Good luck and feel free to email me with any questions. Check my other auctions for other vintage Art Deco items from the same estate. I will combine shipping on multiple wins. The glare spots are from the light in the room and NOT on the actual items surface. Check all the photos below to see the condition of the figural ashtray! Very rare item and is a must for any collector. You won't find another.
