JJ, what can you tell us about that ashtray? Is it an old arty shell? Looks engraved too but better than the standard E Tae Won junk shop.

I believe it's a Naval WWI 105mm. cut to about 2.5inch x 5.5inch dia. A piece was flattened to create the top. I like it because of the volume. I don't need to empty it for every use and the lid prevents the ash from blowing all over.
The engraving is more like fine line scratches. Kinda oriental.
Picked it up on ebay several years ago. It popped up while I was looking for WWI smatchet and bolo blades.
If your interested, try searching for "trench art"
