Description
The Big Senator Ashtray
Big enough for parties, patios, all your garage smoking friends, and big fat cigar smoking Senators.
Heavy vintage glass cigar ashtray made in the 1940’s-1950’s by Indiana Glass and distributed by Tiara Glass (US). The glass has straw marks on the bottom caused by an old-fashioned method of cooling.
Huge. Measures 10″ wide, 2″ deep. Weighs 6 pounds. Can’t get knocked around easily! The bowl is 1½” deep, holding your smoke well above the ash surface. Widest ledge area is ¾”, allowing for resting of paraphernalia. Has four ¾” long, ½” wide and ½” deep rests. Can handle any size smoke.
The luscious dark amber color lightens and darkens with the varying thickness of the glass. The seat is embossed with an eagle and stars, pressed deeply into glass from the backside. Inner surface is smooth and slightly raised from the deep intaglio on the seat. The smooth slightly raised bumps on well surface assist in rolling ash and tapping.
In excellent condition! Glass is clean and luminous. Only sign of age is a ring of bottom-wear caused by 70 to 80 years of surface contact. It can’t be seen from the surface and is not damage.
