• The Ashtrays: Tucked neatly between the legs of the stand is a nested stack of four individual copper ashtrays. Each small round tray features two extended, hollowed-out side tabs that act as cigarette rests. When guests sat down for smoke breaks or card games, the host would unstack the dishes and distribute them around the table.
• The Crest Detail: The center of each copper tray is embellished with a small, silver-toned embossed heraldic shield crest overlay. The coat of arms features a prominent five-pointed star in the middle, surrounded by scrollwork banners and standard medieval flourish details.
• The Stand & Striker: The arching framework is made of cast yellow brass, which provides a two-tone metal contrast against the copper elements. Crucially, your set includes the original matching horizontally mounted horizontal metal striker rod with a spherical mallet tip. This rod is incredibly rare because it rests loosely in the open side-arm hooks and is almost always lost over time.
• Dimensions: Exactly 6" Tall x 3.5" Base Diameter at the widest point of the scalloped bottom saucer tray.
