Item Description
Similar design as previous item #1248, this variety of ashtray features 2.5" tall figurine replica w/base marked "Bruxelles" urinating directly onto high relief portrait image of Hitler's face. Bold incised "Belgium" name on front of ashtray rim, incised artist initials inside tray area. Scattered lt. aging/dust soiling from use, but still displays VF. Likely produced by Resistance groups and made using scarce brass, another effort to hinder the German war effort. Great anti-Hitler design.
