Is the stone on this Onyx? 1950's?
« on: December 29, 2013, 04:44:03 pm »
I got this dog ashtray today and I think it is green Onyx but not positive. Are these mostly from the 50's.  He was so cute just had to bring him home.  ;D

It is stone but not exactly sure what kind.  I found another one on the net and they list as onyx.   ??

True, mart! The color is why I'm asking. I'm not claiming that's it!

I'm thinking some people don't really care as long as it is stone not plastic because I listed it with a question on the stone with a pretty high bar price and within half hour I already got a watcher.

That is what I do when I am not 100% sure what it is !!~  I really think Greenacres has it !! Problem with these things are they used several types of stone !!

Exactly, many used whatever they had readily available.  Alabaster was popular back then so it does make sense.
