Unique industrial-style round ashtray featuring a real metal roller chain surrounding the outer edge, giving it a rugged mechanical or motorcycle-inspired appearance. The center is a deep, round metal ashtray with several cigarette rests around the rim. Bottom is marked “Made in China.” Constructed primarily of metal, with a steel/iron roller-chain border and a silver-tone metal ashtray insert. The underside appears to have a dark-finished metal body with a plated silver-tone base. Dimensions are approximately 4" diameter. Fair but usable condition. The surrounding chain has substantial surface oxidation and discoloration throughout. The ashtray bowl has considerable tarnish, staining, residue, spotting, scratches, and surface wear consistent with prior use. The underside also shows scratching, oxidation, discoloration, and finish wear. No obvious major breaks or missing sections.
