VTG Western Horse Copper Plated Ashtray Cigarette Pipe Bar Man Cave Desk Stand For Sale

Vintage mid-century Western Americana themed horse ashtray and desk organizer

Dating to the 1940s–1950s, this classic piece features a beautifully detailed hollow-cast horse outfitted in an ornamental Western saddle, securely mounted to a heavy, multi-functional utility smoking base. It serves perfectly as a striking display piece for a home bar, office desk, or premium Tobacciana collection.

KEY FEATURES

RARE Intact Ball-Chain Reins: This piece uniquely features its original metallic ball-chain bridle and reins fully intact. Because these delicate chains were almost always lost or snapped over decades of use, finding a vintage specimen with the chain completely original and unbroken is quite rare.

Smoking Utility Base: The deep center tray features built-in cigarette resting notches along the rim, while the rounded contour of the center bowl is perfectly shaped to cradle a tobacco pipe bowl or catch loose ash.

Dual Side Match Holders: The horse is flanked by two integrated, upright side pockets. Historically designed to hold vintage safety matchboxes or matchbooks (allowing the user to strike the match while the box remained stable in the holder), these deep pockets double perfectly as modern desk organizers for fountain pens, paperclips, keys, or loose coins.

SPECIFICATIONS

Material: Aged hollow-cast pot metal (zinc alloy) horse with a heavy cast base, finished in a genuine mid-century copper electroplated flash layer.

Dimensions: Measures 7.5 inches long by approximately 5.5 inches in total height.

Markings: Unmarked / No maker's mark (consistent with classic mid-century retail novelties and carnival premiums).

Condition: Nice vintage condition with a beautiful patina and expected areas of subtle oxidation and light thinning of the copper electroplating over the darker base metal, preserving its rich history.
