    Unique USS PIEDMONT US Naval Ship Brass Ashtray
    We are offering this unusual brass ash tray that honors the USS Piedmont.  If you look at the pictures, you should be able to see that the lettering and inscriptions are a little uneven - not as they would appear if manufactured in a factory.  If it was an Army or Marine item I would call it trench art, but I don't know the right term is for similar items produced by sailors. In any case, it seems to have been around for some time, possibly during WWII.
    The ashtray is a special item made of solid brass.  It measures 5" across and about 3/4" high and weighs 5.6 ounces.  It looks like it has been well used.  Check the pictures for details.
    The
    USS PIEDMONT
    was

    USS PIEDMONT
    transited the Panama Canal and joined the Pacific Fleet.
