VINTAGE FIESTA ASHTRAY
Here's an interesting tid-bit not everyone knows... Sometime, early on, probably until 1940 there were seven concentric rings on the bottom of the ashtrays that mysteriously disappeared (just like the 7 rings on the inside bottoms of the mixing bowls - it's kind of interesting). So if your Fiesta ashtray has this set of rings on their under sides, they are the earliest. It seems that with the loss of these rings they began to carry the registered ink stamp.
