Vintage John Wright Co. Cast Metal Saddled Horse Ashtray. 1930s Measures 3 1/2" in hiehgt by 4 3/4" length. Good condition, lots of oxidization.
Add a rugged, equestrian touch to your desk or den with this authentic 1930s cast metal ashtray manufactured by the renowned John Wright Company. Measuring 3 1/2 inches in height and 4 3/4 inches in length, this heavy-duty piece features a detailed figurine of a saddled horse standing atop a triangular basin. The John Wright Co., based in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, is famous for its high-quality cast iron and metal housewares, and this piece is a classic example of their early 20th-century novelty items.
The metal has developed a stunning, authentic character over the years, characterized by deep bronze tones and natural green verdigris oxidation. This heavy patina enhances the relief details of the saddle and mane, making it a perfect accent for rustic, western, or industrial decor styles. Whether used as a traditional ashtray, a unique paperweight, or a decorative catch-all for keys and coins, this saddled horse is a durable piece of Americana that collectors of tobacciana and equestrian memorabilia will truly appreciate.
This item is vintage, approximately 90 years old. While it appears to be in the good condition stated, it shows significant age through oxidation. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
