I saw what looked like the residue one finds in old metal ashtrays, so just took a stab at it. I didn't know it came all apart though.
Eh - seeing one with original box, suspect 1970s-80s dating is probably closer to correct... http://www.ophertyciocci.com/produc...old-metal-flower-ashtray-w-5-removable-petals ~Cheryl
We carried brass flower-petal ashtrays like the one linked below at an upscale department store that I worked at in the mid/late '70s - have also seen them in cast aluminum, which I suspect were a bit earlier... https://www.etsy.com/listing/173150428/loves-me-vintage-brass-flower-petal ~Cheryl
