Antique Cast Aluminum Figural Snapping Turtle Spittoon-Type Ashtray gloves The fan over the lightbulbCast metal ashtray with a lever powered cap. This piece takes the form of a snapping turtle, albeit less nightmare inducing than its real life counterparts. Despite taking the form and function from similarly designed spittoons, this piece is actually an ashtray that features a removable vessel for dumping ashes. Exhibits minor signs of wear including ash build up on the interior and some minor tarnish, likely making this piece a cast aluminum alloy.
