spinner ashtray
« on: January 17, 2010, 12:08:48 pm »
I have a spinner ashtray (not sure what else to call it.) There is a stamp on the bottom that says West Germany and a faint F is on there along with a faint triangle and a line through the top of the triangle. It has german themed stuff around the pot itself. I can't find anything that is even close like it online. I wanted to find out the worth of it but I don't have a clue who made them to even look that up.

Cool Ashtray for sure.  I remember these, like you not sure what it is called.  As for the date  it is post War, and possibly  considered Occupied Germany item.  Western Germany right after the war.  These items was made in factories to get the country back in order after the war.  As for value, I will be looking around a bit to establish some ashtray values later for my own purpose.  Hope others will pop in with some better answer then what I have to offer.  Once again you have a nice ashtray, and thanks for posting.

Is the bottom pottery or enamel?

The bottom looks to be the same as the bowl itself with a clear coat I suppose. I dont' know much about this stuff. but the colors on the bowl itself are so vibrant.
