This was given to me because it has a caterpillar machine on it. Its largest dimension is 5 inches. I have no idea what it is. Looks like a napkin holder or an ashtray. It has a stainless steel triangular clip between the uprights. Does anyone have an idea what it is?!?!

Good to see you back Bill, I don't know what it is but at first glance a menu holder sprang to mind,doubt if its an ashtray as there is no grooves for the cigarettes,nice piece.

As it is not "Totally Politically Correct" to use it as a Cigar holder anymore, my first thought would be a Business Card holder on a Desk!

That would be my guess to wimmera farmer.Match box held ajar and striker pads accessible on the sides.
There was a lot of stuff around like that when I was a kid.

Bill, I have a 60 watch fob, and the shipping documents that came with a 60 my grandfather bought new and I would be interested in purchasing your piece of memorabilia to go with what I have if you are of a mind to sell. RT

Bill, I collect 60 stuff and have 60 watch fobs, sixty checker game, sixty paper clip, and sixty ash tray. I don't think this is an ash tray as it is not like the 2 ashtrays I have. Caterpillarman

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
