Vintage BeanBag Ashtrays with Antlers an Filter Holder?
« on: November 26, 2014, 02:11:36 pm »
I'm looking for input about these items. I'm thinking there 1950's era, the two large trays are copper plated, and the small one is copper plated with corroded iron showing. The two large beanbag ashtray bowls measure 2 3/4 inches wide by 1 inch deep, the height and width are 1 1/2 inches high by 3 inches wide. The small filter holder bowl measures 1 3/4 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches deep. The height and width are 2 inches high by 2 inches wide. Any info will help!  :)

These weighted ashtrays were very popular from 60's to 70's. Were often used in cars because the built-in ashtrays were generally put below the A/c and heat vent which would blow ashes all over when on.  Generally made of aluminum. 

You can still buy them today.  Popular in the RV industry.

These "antlers" were used to hold the cigarette from rolling while walking or driving and were also used to knock the fire off cigars so they could be smoked later.

These don't garner much value.  From $2.00 to $5
