Hi,
I’ve been working on some detective work on the horse head ashtray and I thought I would share what I’ve found out to date. I believe the ashtray is a Churchill Downs ashtray from the 1920’s. I’ve only found one that was 90 percent accurate to the one in the movie (see photo). The badge on the ashtray I’ve identified as a enameled Charm that says ‘ Kentucky / Bluegrass State’. I’ve found many on the ends of souvenier spoons on eBay. They are pretty plentiful. The ashtray seems very rare. I hope that gets the ball rolling on finding a source for these. And…go!
