Vintage Brass Incense/Cigarette Holder

A wonderful piece of mid-century Western Americana, this miniature brass ashtray is crafted in the form of a classic cowboy hat, complete with engraved decorative detailing and a shaped cigarette rest.

Likely produced during the heyday of Western-inspired design, novelty brass ashtrays like this were popular souvenirs and desktop accessories, celebrating the enduring romance of the American frontier. Its diminutive scale and sculptural form make it as appealing today as a decorative object or incense holder as it once was as a functional one.
