Description
For cigarettes and smaller smokes the Alligator Pincherette ashtray from 1930’s is both useful, stylish and collectible.
A series of these artsy ashtrays featuring animals as cigarette rests were made in the U.S.A. during the Art Deco period. This one has two snapping alligators to pinch and hold your smokes.
Made by Hamilton, a leader in the era’s new metal treatment called “Chrome”. The alligator jaws will secure cigarettes and smaller smokes well above the ash bowl surface allowing for even burning.
It is in very good condition. Just a few tiny scratches on the surface which you must study closely to see. The base cork covering is intact. The alligators are perfect. No corrosion.
Marked Pincherette, Pat. No. 5 on the base. Measures 4½” round. Image 4 shows this alligator Pincherette with a fabulous elephant Pincherette that includes a snuffer (click here to view).
