Vest-Pocket Ash Tray

What can you do with cigarette ashes when there’s no ash tray around? Dr. John H. Findlay, Westinghouse engineer, often was looking for a place to deposit ashes so his colleagues came up with an answer—a vest-pocket ash tray. They made it from part of an electronic tube and fastened on a clip that holds it to the user’s pocket.

  2. uhhhh, I have the full blown pocket version of this (slightly larger but not by much). You pop the lid open & the holder springs out for you to rest the cig on. It comes in handy when you’re at someones house & don’t wish to get butts everywhere.
