WEST OF MEEKER PICKUP- Vintage Painted Wood Art Deco Style Silent Butler Novelty Ashtray Stand - A floor-standing novelty ashtray holder designed in the form of a silent butler. The piece is constructed from a flat wood cutout featuring a double-sided hand-painted figure. The stylized character is depicted in profile, portrayed as a bald man wearing formal tuxedo attire including a black jacket, white shirt, and gold-tone buttons. The figure is shown holding an integrated circular wooden ashtray bowl. The entire assembly is mounted onto a solid octagonal wooden base. The graphic style is characteristic of mid-20th-century American folk art or novelty decor. No maker marks, labels, or signatures are present.
