This vintage ashtray is a commemorative item presented in celebration of a bountiful rice harvest exceeding 200,000 bushels. The front is inscribed with "20万俵突破記念" (Celebration of 200,000 Bushels Exceeded) and the place name "当麻町" (Toma Town). On the reverse side, the word "南部" (Nanbu) is engraved as a testament to the traditional "Nanbu Tekki" (Nanbu ironware). Incidentally, the place name "当麻町" (Toma Town) appears to mean "a river entering a small pond" in the language of Japan's indigenous people. It is estimated to have been presented in the 1980s or earlier in Hokkaido, Japan. As a regional commemorative item, it is an extremely rare collector's piece. For discerning collectors and vintage enthusiasts, this will undoubtedly be a precious treasure. Don't miss this excellent opportunity.
