Description
Brass ash receptor stamped “Made in Greece”
In the ancient days the Greeks fought the Spartans in a seemingly endless war. This screaming ash receptor is a Greek version of what a Spartan warrior looked like. It’s at least of vintage age. In the late 1800’s and again in the 1940s – 1950s, reproductions of ancient designs were the rage.
It appears to have once been painted green to add an ancient look, but most has worn off, and it looks even more ancient.
We laugh every time we stick a cigar in it’s mouth. Just looking at it creates humor, great to pull out for parties. Measures 4″ long, 4″ wide, 2.5″ tall.
