      Looks like a Cast Iron Drunk On Lamp Post Bottle Opener measures 4-1/4" high x 2-1/2" wide. - Made by John Wright Foundry Wrightsville, PA. Company was founded in 1880 and is still in business.

      Any idea as to the age and value?

      I have the ashtray that matches! A real one just went for $45 on Ebay. The repro went for $3. It's one of the those things where the collector always knows.

      Thanks Vestaswaind. I picked this up at an estate sale. I"ve no doubt it is real by the weight and paint which appears to be baked enamel. Need a opener? lol Thanks again. Chris
