Title: Large Funky Sprocket Cigar Ashtray - US? ID = Viking, "Pilot" Ashtray
Post by: scoutshouse on August 17, 2011, 02:52:00 AM

Hi, out there!

Probably American, right? I am not familiar with many US glass companies that might have made something like this,

It weighs almost 3 lb. and is about 10" across. Mold lines are along the outer edge of bowl around the sprockets.

?? Thanks for any input.  :usd:

Viking Glass might be a contender.  They did something very similar.
