[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 1143274, member: 85"]My dad had one back in the 1960s. The centrifugal force from pushing down spins the butts and ashes into the bottom. And yes at times the butts get caught, you just push down again. In trying to find another, I think that these might still be made and imported from Germany. Glass could be German. Which would make sense, as I don't remember the originals being so nice. More metal. Called a Spin ashtray. Thought they had another name though.[/QUOTE]
