The small tag on the top is worn with no discernible marks - the bottom of the ash tray has (what I can read around the rust) "SIM" "PAT 16 30, "NO 178305" and "WINSTON CONZ" The joints are tongue and groove with some being dowel rod - they are very loose,(No dove tails). The glass container with lid is probably not carnival but looks iridescent! So thinking I refinish it in my wood shop and make a home piece out of it? Or keep it as original and try to find a buyer?
