Can you get a close pic of the etchings ??  Perhaps that will give us a clue to its maker !!

I don't know enough about muskets, but it almost looks like a dish to melt the lead. That would explain the guide that doubles as a handle.

How's this for "cast iron proof" that it is an ashtray? ;D ;D ;D



A Griswold '00' skillet.

Don't know why i missed this one...but it is definitely an ashtray.  AKA personal or traveling ashtray.

Finger/ring style handle on this one to hold it securely while standing or on lap.
Seems this is the second one on here within the week! (The other one being lidded)



This one even has a fold out cigarette rest so it folds neatly and fits into a petite purse!  LOL

I'm going to change my answer here. Looks like an ashtray to me. ;)
