    Thanks. The stain in the corner looks as though it could be cigarette ash.

    Does anyone know what the symbol on the back with the letter 'L' and number (625?) on means, please?

    here’s a listing with the same maker’s mark but they don’t identify it. At least you can see what they are asking.

    Yours was probably one of a set of stacking individual ashtrays.

    I would think one of set of four for card table use.

    Oh - that's cool. It did look a bit small for a conventional shared ashtray, but can see how these would be an ideal size for individual use at a card table, and the shape would make them stack tidily when not in use. Thanks everyone! :)
