CONDITION
:
The DeVilbiss Company had this advertising ashtray made as a promotional item
. The ashtray is very Deco / stylized and would make an awesome pin tray or jewelry catcher.  This pretty piece is in
Undamaged Condition without chips, cracks, or mold damage.
The crystal satin finish is smooth to the touch.  There is a tiny bubble caught in the glass.  This is common and does not detract from the piece.  It is barely noticeable, but our camera caught it.  You can see a white spot on both the front and back photo where the bubble is.  This is only the second one of these we have seen.  The other one is in my collection.  If you collect DeVilbiss perfumes and atomizers this a great item to add to your collection.
The DeVilbiss Manufacturing Company
was a hand decorating and finishing company
that was in operation in Toledo, Ohio from the early 1900's through the mid 1950's. They are most noted for their unique designs of atomizer fittings for perfume and toilet water bottles. Glass
blanks were purchased from many leading glass houses for the purpose of decorating with enamel and gold. Many items are signed with the script "DeVilbiss" name on the bottom. However, some items were only sold with paper labels. Most of these labels were de
stroyed through use and identifying unsigned items requires studying the unique characteristics of the hardware. Many times, perfumizers and perfume droppers were available as matched sets. Sometimes other matching accessory pieces such as puff boxes, pin trays and larger dresser trays were also available. The early intricately designed atomizers and perfume bottles from the late 1920's and early 1930's are eagerly collected today.
