Topic: Symbol on ashtray

[Ivo]

If it is accurately identical or not is not so important; main thing is the realisation that it is a stylised hourglass so we now suspect it has something to do with funerals. Ashtray would be appropriate, don't you thnk...

[Paul S.]

you could be right about a connection with the undertakers trade, Ivo - but also reflect on the quantity and diversity of ashtrays made for the licensed victuallers/brewery/pub trade - traditionally, drinkers have often been great smokers too..................    mind you, those folk almost always ended up with the undertakers.
Don't know that I'm that convinced the symbol/logo does represent a stylised hour glass - but again you could be correct.
