allcars Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Nice old ashtray, sort of a cocoa-brown color. May be N.O.S. We like the clear knob, very stylish. It's available, but for now just curious what make it is from.

TheMoneyPit Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The handle design reminds me of an English Austin, it’s possibly from them. The use of clear plastic on the design suggests it’s post WW2 and likely 1950’s as opposed to pre-war. Earlier plastic technology wasn’t as advanced but the war effort made huge leaps there. So just a guess, but I think it’s 50’s Austin, but it’s just a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Perhaps if you give us the size it may be able to determine what it is a bit easier is it 6 inches wide, 3 1/2, ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
