    Found this beautiful little ashtray at the Salvation Army and paid 50 cents for it. I loved the detail and had no idea about the history. I have been researching and so far found out it is Dutch and probably was made around 1910-1920. It does have a Lion Passant mark which states the purity of the Silver .833 with the Minerva head and the letter M.
    I have not found another identical to this online although a lot of similar ones. I do not know the Maker, however there is a Scroll on the right hand side to the right of the mans cape, not sure if it is an initial or just detail. I don't smoke anymore but I always loved unusual ashtrays and will put this with the rest of my finds.
