<P>This is a rare and unique find. A free standing ashtray from the turn of the century.

<P>This particular piece is a late Victorian, American piece due to the nature motifs of pinecones, needles and owls. Although some may call it arts and crafts, but the motifs are not insects.

<P>This piece is made by the Wellington Stone Company of Chicago, IL. I have been unable to find out any more about the company.

<P>The base of the piece is made of cast iron. The top is also likely cast iron, but is gold in color. The pole/stem is wooden. It is beautifully turned, carved and painted in gold and black.

<P>The bottom of the base is stamped "Wellington Stone Co. No. 6 Pat Pend". The underneath side of the top piece of metal reads, "Wellington Stone Co. Pat. Pend. No. 7.".

<P>Dimensions: 28" tall, 8 1/8" wide at widest point of base, top surface is 6"x6".

<P>Condition: This piece is in good condition. It could use a good cleaning on the metal. The wooden stand part has some paint chipping, but quite frankly it is hard to notice, please see photos - more available upon request. The glass insert is in very good condition, though likely not original to the piece.

<P>Please see photos.
<P>Please email with any questions.
