    I am sure this is a ashtray, Spelter, about 11 inches long. My question is, in her hands is a pocket to put something into. Any ideas if it was for Cigarettes , Cigars, or a Matchbox?

    Thanks

    Matchbook. And she appears to be missing the ashtray itself which would be off to the side.

    A Google Lens search will bring up a number of variations of your girl.

    I love her design! Definitely a match box or book holder.

    Aww, too young to know what a matchbook is (little box with wooden matches in it). :shame:

    Match box holder. I'm wondering if it had a base because why would you want ashes to fall on the table?

    You have to ash very carefully and gently into the small of her back/top of her buttocks. Only room for about half a cigarette at a time though.

    No I suppose not, as eager to please as she looks.
