<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 911868, member: 6444&quot;]I can&#039;t figure out what else this could be, though I hope you will know. The tongue is hinged (see the metal pivot pin) and lifts up when pressed on the back, leaving a small opening in the &quot;throat&quot; that ashes could fall through, then gravity mostly closes the opening back up (to cut down on smoke?) I don&#039;t think it would work with cigarettes, but with a cigar. Or maybe I&#039;m completely barking up the wrong tree and this is for something else??</p><p><br /></p><p>The base is threaded and unscrews (I showed the front and back of the base). It is missing a chunk on the base but that doesn&#039;t bother me. Besides its purpose, where does everyone think it would have been made and when? No marks besides the underglaze &quot;74&quot; written on both pieces and the ceramic wear on the base. I&#039;m thinking europe instead of japan, but maybe not?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]200960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]200965[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
