    Description

    Here we have a Frankart heavy metal nude pixie ashtray or pin tray,
    I have been collecting art deco for over 30 years and I am thinning out my collection.
    I do not know much about this piece, other than I liked it.
    It is marked on the back " FRANKART W.N.Y.  N.J. 1985 # 850 "
    It looks to me, that this piece was cast in the old Frankart molds
    explaining the resemblance to the ones produced in the 1920's.
    It's a mystery to me, but someone obviously had access to the original molds.
    I am including an insert that was not original, however works very nicely.
    What appears to be cracks in the photos, is not cracks. It's seams from the mold.
    If I can answer any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
