219 (Early Series) Round ashtray, & cigarette holder.
Does this shape appear in other series? Yes, although not exactly the same - in
Later Series 55 and
'A' Series / Kerryl A7 the ashtray rim is solid instead of hollowed underneath as here. The shape book entry for Later Series
55 mentions a "Holder" as here, but for 'A' Series / Kerryl
A7 no mention is made of a holder.
There is another shape-book reference to an ashtray and holder, perhaps similar to these, at
The Collector, Murrumbeena Vic.
Both un-numbered, ashtray incised Remued.
This ashtray appears to lack the grooves for cigarettes.

Holder un-numbered, ashtray incised 219.
Ashtrays incised Remued 219. Holder incised 219.
The 219 is unmarked to the base but it displays the characteristic hollowed-out rim, whereas the 55 has a solid rim.
