Antique Silverplate Polar Bear Ashtray / Consolidated Ice Co. Pittsburgh Pa. For Sale

Here is a very rare antique silver plated metal figural polar bear advertising ashtray or paperweight. It is adverting the Consolidated Ice Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.. Around the base it is marked, \" Consolidated Ice Co./ Distilled water/ Consolidated Ice Co./ Pure Ice \". It just has some traces of the original silver plate left. It would be fabulous to have it replated. On the front hole, the inside edge of the hole is just a thin edge of metal with some chipping. See 4th photo. The bottom has numerous scratch marks on it. It otherwise appears in good shape with no real damage or repairs noted. I see so maker\'s marks. It is not marked \" Pittsburgh, Pa \" but that is where Consolidated was formed in 1907 and they were known for some advertising items with polar bears. The piece measures aprox. 2 13/16 by 5 5/16 inches at base. It stands about 3 1/2 inches tall. This may be a one off piece. I can see no others anywhere on the net. I suppose it could also have been a calling card or business card holder. Outstanding item for a Pittsburgh collection. In the U.S., I accept Paypal only. Paypal buyers MUST have a confirmed address.
