Any ideas on the date or information of this ashtray?
It says wellington stone co number 7 on the underside of the top
and a patent is stamped on the bottom
I saw the same one in a google search but it wasn't sold, that seller said it was turn of the century. I got this one at a local antique shop.
Thanks.

The patent says 1924 so......1924?
-
Bet it was from the late 20's to possibly early 30's. That date is just when the patent was approved! LOLOL
In excellent shape they sell anywhere from $30 to $45 in my area.

I have a couple of these. You are missing the glass ashtray.
-
Thanks for the date estimation. That's what I paid for it too, $50.
Yeah instead of the original ashtray I am using a punched sheet-metal one that happens to fit.
What does the correct one look like? Plain glass or are there any decorations?
-
Plain glass. Mine are Amber colored. They are hard to find because a lot of them got broken.
-
Most were amber color,, guess that was the "in" color back then !! A few were clear and green glass !! But if you find one don`t quibble about the color !!
-
Amber covered up tar stains much better than clear glass.
