INFORMATION ON ASHTRAY MEDALS SOUGHT

Sam Pennington, publisher of the Maine Antique Digest 
(samp@maineantiquedigest.com) writes: "I'm working on an article on 
ashtray medals. I have information on the Manship Zodiac medals and 
a few others he did. I'd like to hear from anyone who has or knows of 
other makers or other medals. Thanks."

Ashtry medals (or medallic ashtrays) are working ashtrays made and 
decorated like medals. They vary in size from four to six inches. 
Sculptor Paul Manship made a number of them including the twelve signs 
of the zodiac. I'm working on an article on ashtray medals. I have info 
on the Manship Zodiac medals and a few others he did. I'd like to hear 
from anyone who has or knows of other makers or other medals. You can 
see an example of a six-inch Manship medal at
