<p>[QUOTE="CatintheAttic, post: 241346, member: 2291"]Hello, I bought this ashtray at a local yard sale thinking it might be a military piece. It is made of metal with an enamel finish and has no maker's marks. In the middle is a crest - a shield with a beaver at the bottom, with three leaping gazelles above and an elephant above them. Over the beaver are some zigzag lines - possibly letters A & M?? The shield is topped with a crown. I've tried to identify whose crest this is but can't find anything similar. Can anyone help?? The ashtray measures 11cm across. I guess it dates to about the 1920s/30s. Thanks</p><p>[ATTACH=full]73835[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]73840[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]73835[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]73840[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
