Antique Cast Iron Ashtray

My wife and I were at a local antique store where multiple vendors setup and found a unique ashtray that we just had to get. I enjoy fine cigars from time to time and wanted a cool ashtray that could be a conversation piece with a few of my friends that are also cigar aficionados. Well I tried looking it up online and came across only 2, one that was an exact match and another similar. The one page listed it as a Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Cigar and Pipe Ashtray without a price since it had already sold. The second page had the match to the one I have and they had it listed for $75. I guess what I'm really looking for is more information about the piece and what it is actually "worth" as we paid only $20 for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Search Eboo for completed auctions and see if any have sold and price. What someone's asking doesn't mean much.

Nice ashtray.......tell your buddies it's worth $650.......& enjoy it like it's worth every penny !!

 

Don't know if you found this one or not ...... looks like a repro to me. Have doubts about yours.

Yea that was one of the ones I was talking about. I found that one and one just like mine and that's it. Nothing else.

 

It's an interesting piece. I did look online but found nothing.
