4.5” Cast Iron Cigar Ashtray GM Delco Remy Plant5 Heavy Duty Made In USA Vintage

This solid iron ashtray measures 4.5”across and stands one inch tall. It hasone resting place large enough for a cigar and 6 smaller slots forcigarettes. It has a felt bottom to keepthe iron from marring up surfaces. Butthat’s not the cool part.

Clearly this ashtray was made tocommemorate the Strategic or Small Business Unit which was Plant 5 Heavy Dut. Get ready for the winded explanation….

Plant 5, was part of the Delco-RemyDivision of General Motors. Opened in 1928,it was the grey iron casting foundry that produced castings for the differentproduct lines in Anderson, Indiana, which included motor housings, generatorend frame, iron bowl distributor bases and heavy-duty generator and starterhousings. In 1986 Plant 5 ran 35,000 HEIdistributor gear blanks on second shift after outside suppliers could not holdthe proper chemistry needed to keep the gears from failing in engine applications. Sounds like a reason to celebrate….and makean ashtray.

This ashtray has a little heft to it…itweighs in around 1lb 6oz.
