Alternate Top view - notice the stamp work.

Ashtrays were popular items in the Fred Harvey gift shops. This ashtray has four eagles, one on each side. The rim has precise, symmetrical stamp work including a unique “tomahawk” design. The bowl is stamped with geometric designs and arrow motifs. Very little work was produced in copper, most having been made from sterling silver. It is a relatively rare item of the style bought by someone long ago as a reminder of their visit to the Southwest.


Condition: very good condition

Provenance: this Copper Ashtray with Four Eagle Attachments is from a gentleman in Colorado
