Authentic "Schleuderascher" Roulette Spinning Ashtray "Mid-Century German Tobacciana" (still works)

4.5" diameter x 5" Tall

​***COLLECTOR'S PICK***

​

Elevate your bar cart or study with a brilliant piece of mid-century German mechanical engineering.

Crafted in Germany by the prestigious luxury metalsmiths Erhard & Söhne, this authentic "Schleuderascher" (spinning roulette ashtray) perfectly marries mechanical innovation with high-society Hollywood Regency aesthetics.

Erhard & Söhne famously invented this clever spring-loaded design—pressing down on the elegant gold-tone handle effortlessly spins the internal disc, instantly whisking away ash and embers into the lower chamber to contain smoke and odor.  

The body features a beautifully detailed, embossed relief band of classical baroque cherubs (putti) frolicking amidst vines, finished in a brilliant gilt gold tone.

Topped with a polished chrome upper rim and rests for your premium cigars or cigarettes, it is a magnificent conversation piece for the modern collector.
