Copper Figure Pin-up 4-Inch. Dating to the Mid-Century Modern era (c. 1950s–1960s), this intriguing unsigned triangular brass ash or pin tray measures approximately 4.0 inches long by 3.75 inches wide and features an applied copper relief figure of a pin-up girl or athlete set against a stippled, textured ground. Built with a turned ring base, the piece offers a distinct studio-craft aesthetic whose contrasting metalwork appeals to MCM decor and tobacciana collectors alike. Presenting in good vintage condition, the tray retains its securely attached copper figure alongside expected signs of age and manufacture, including authentic surface patina, light tarnishing, small spots of verdigris oxidation near the lower rim, and light surface scratching on the underside.
