Mark Gregory Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I require 4 ash trays like in the picture below. I have been told that the 727 and 737 used to use them. If planes used them where would you go find an ashtray like this ? Does anyone else sell these. Someone said trains had this style also. Yes it is off a Reo Royale or more commonly know as Hen's Teeth. They do not have to be exactly like this. The lighter I can get at Mac's Ford.

keiser31 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I believe the airliner ashtrays were more of a rectangle. They also had flip-tops. I recall using them when I used to smoke YEARS ago. Edited November 20, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Do you have the wood parts and just need the inserts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregory Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 John I have to make the wood part which is not hard from some pictures I have. I need the inserts which I have been told where used in airplanes and I remember the flip top ashtrays also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The ashtrays in aircraft such as the 727 had a spring loaded top, I believe mandated by the FAA, located in the armrest. If you search "1960 Corvette ash tray", they are similar to them. As for the kidney shaped ash trays that you picture, any metal shop can fabricate them to your specifications. Bend the top shape out of 1/8" X 3/8" stock and TIG weld the receptacles and have them plated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Coyote Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Easy peasy to make. Do you have dimensions? Better close up pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 I will have to ask Reo Royale owners for some pictures and dimensions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Probably someone from up north could supply some more info. But I recall a salvage outlet operated by Boing somewhere south of Seattle, Maybe Kent. But that was some years ago, however I think they still make airplanes. I recall seats, toilets, all sorts of weird hardware etc. And a very wide selection of STUFF !! Mostly recognizable as aircraft related. Ashtrays? I don't recall.
