This listing is for a lovely vintage cast iron ash receiver made by the Dalton Thibault corporation in the 1920s. We've heard these receivers were often used on trains. This one measures about 30.5" inches high by 10.5" inches in diameter at the base. It opens in the center to reveal a swiveling ash compartment and is held closed with an iron pin. The piece is marked under the top "Dalton Thibault Corp. Stamford Conn U.S.A. DT-100 U.S. And Foreign Patents Applied For." It has a similar mark on the pin. The inside of the base is also marked "DI-107." The receiver has dark green paint which is mostly intact and it's in very good overall condition with some scuffs and a little corrosion. This listing has no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!

From lathes.co.uk:

"Hubert Dalton (1866-1952) the manufacturer of Dalton lathes, was English by birth and the first born of eleven children. He moved to the United States when he was 16 and found work in New York as a toolmaker and machinery salesman. His subsequent and very successful career as a businessman involved several companies including the Dalton Motor Car Company, the Dalton Manufacturing Corporation of New York (making lathes), the Dalton-Thibault Corporation of New York, the Armstrong Products Corporation (late 1920's), the Willowbrook Corporation (a nursery business) and the well-known Dalton Tool & Machine Corporation based in South Beach, CT."
