How jazzed was I to spot the deliciously mid-mod Anholt safety ashtray on Sunday’s episode of Mad Men (during Betty’s interrogation scene)

The Anholt safety ashtray was designed in 1941 to prevent cigarette-induced infernos. 

Anholt, A Denver-based company, made their ashtrays originally out of genuine Coors porcelain in a basic round form with raised “teeth” to hold the cigarettes in place.

In excellent vintage condition with no damage issues; some light use in a Bone or off white.

This is a period piece and marked Denver and not Golden Colorado....this is also Porcelain and not Melamine. This is an EARLIER piece as evidenced by the firing tips and mold design.
