Description
Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn Aluminium-Alloy Train Ashtray.
One of the many variants of DR Train ashtray which were fitted to the bulkhead corridors of all the Sonderzug wagons, although you would not dare smoke in the presence of Hitler!
The ashtray consists of a wall bracket with a hinge mechanism making it easy to lift and tip the ash container to remove waste.
Made from a magnesium-aluminium alloy it is well marked on the mounting plate with the German ordnance factory stamping ‘dek’ (although it could be ‘dgk’, or ‘aek’ ? not quite sure!) and alloy content stamping ‘Mg 3’, along with other marks, numbers, and symbols. To the front of the ashtray in a square cartouche is the ‘DR’ logo.
A really nice Third Reich Deutsche Reichsbahn period collectable.
