    It is 9x4" and I am not sure about the style and age.

    Hi,
    I have a French Art Deco ashtray with the same flying Pegasus on it. It was silver plated with copper base. It is just marked France. I think it is a smoking item not for writing. JMHO. It holds cigarettes and matches and an ashtray. So a smoke stand not for writing.

    Greg,

    Thanks so much.
    That possibility didnt occur to me at the time of purchase, but it does make so much more sense
    :)

    It's not a desk-set or inkstand, that's for sure. I agree, it's probably for smoking.
