Also have a '70's kidney shaped ashtray similar to the one in your pic that is identical to the two on the coffee table of Elvis' jungle room at Graceland! My friend Rudy drops by occasionally and leaves a cigar butt or two in my ashtrays. Somehow this makes 'em better. The ashtrays have done their job...like drinking from Tiki mugs.

I just picked up an ashtray at Goodwill - rectangular, green with psychodelic blue spots and holds up to 16 cigs! I saw one like the red/orange leaf ashtray at a local Value Village but those slobs didn't even bother cleaning that damn thing before puting it on display - that's gross - and I'm a smoker! Plus it was chipped. Glad I held out for the near-perfect mega-tray!

Thanks for posting Al, Jeff(bigtikidude)

They are getting harder to find, but they used to be an integral part of a homes decor. That's why they came in so many styles and sizes. Here are a few of mine: It has been cracked twice unfortunately, both by my own doing.
