I thought this was the neatest thing in the world. I was shocked when I learned that it was from 1920! They sure had style back then.
The only real problem with the piece is that it has been painted black over the beautiful brass. Also has "Made in Italy" under the wings. :]
Yea, I just started googling Brass fly ashtray and boom, popped right up. There are a few that look similar, so watch out. The difference I noticed was the detail on the wings the most noticeably. Made me wonder about other strange ashtrays.
i got the brass crab ashtray on my site its pretty neat also
You have some nice pieces. Love that crab though. Is there line of these ashtrays? Like other animals?
I picked one of theses up at a yardsale today for 2 bucks!
I have the crab too that i found in a box of junk.
How sad am i, been collecting these on and off for years and have well over 100 of them
