A scarce collectible, this vintage hotel souvenir ashtray hails from the long defunct Polygon Hotel in Southampton, England. The Art Deco era chrome ashtray has a sleek Machine Age design. Use the vintage ashtray as a decor accent on a living room coffee table or on your home office desk as a decorative catchall dish.
"The Polygon was probably the most celebrated hotel in Southampton in the early 20th century and many famous visitors stayed here. It was particularly popular with the stars performing at the nearby Empire (now Mayflower) Theatre. The origins of the hotel go back to the late 18th century, to the ambitious Polygon development scheme. The original hotel on the site was built in the first (and only) phase of the 18th century development. The hotel was rebuilt in the 1870s with the original building largely incorporated within it. The original building was once again largely retained when hotel was rebuilt in the 1930s; the only serious loss was the portico. The hotel was demolished in 1999 and replaced by flats." From Sontopedia
The vintage chrome ashtray shows wear consistent with its age and use including some small corrosion spots on the metal.
