Bantam Safety Ashtrays
« on: September 29, 2012, 06:41:27 pm »
Has anyone seen these before? I can only find one mention on the web on Etsy where someone is selling one. From the pic on the box there were different versions with other animals that held your cigarette.  The box is marked Eric Wedemeyer Inc of NYC. They have cork on the bottom and are marked Made in the USA.

Finding them in the box is what's unusual. Funny...I checked out an auction this morning and there was one there, but no box.

I forgot that I have one of those. I think mine has dolphins as the animals. I'll have to check the box that it's in somewhere.

I have one, sitting on the end table next to my recliner, with cigarette ashes in it.

No more than a pack a day. I just use a big bucket so I don't have to empty it out very often.
