Very Rare 1930s Art Deco 21 Club Jockey Ashtray, Metal & Ceramic Equestrian Smoking Accessory This exceptionally rare and substantial 1930s Art Deco jockey ashtray is a striking and historically important equestrian-themed smoking accessory, strongly attributed to the legendary 21 Club, New York. Combining sculptural cast metal with elegant glazed ceramic, the piece exemplifies the club’s distinctive blend of theatrical flair, sporting tradition, and Jazz Age glamour. At the center stands a cast metal jockey figure, depicted in a confident contrapposto stance atop an elevated mound. The jockey wears a classic red racing coat with yellow cuffs and buttons, a coordinating red-and-yellow jockey cap, white riding pants, and black and brown leather riding boots. One arm is outstretched holding a metal ring, while the other rests at the hip, conveying poise, movement, and authority, hallmarks of strong Art Deco figural design. The paint retains its vibrant coloration, with expected wear consistent with age and use (see photographs). The figure is mounted on a circular white ceramic ashtray, elegantly finished with a thin gold band along the rim and three gold-painted divots designed for resting cigars or cigarettes. The underside is fitted with brown felt, protecting surfaces and suggesting careful long-term use; the felt appears clean and may have been replaced at some point. The jockey is firmly secured to the base with no movement or instability. Founded in 1922, the 21 Club quickly became one of the most iconic private dining establishments in American history, renowned for its décor celebrating horse racing, jockey silks, equestrian trophies, and sporting culture. Jockey figures, both sculptural and decorative, were central to the club’s visual identity and appeared throughout its interiors in everything from wall mounts to bar accessories. Objects associated with the 21 Club were produced in extremely limited quantities, often for in-house use only or as special commissions, making surviving examples exceptionally rare. While this piece is unsigned and unmarked, extensive stylistic research and comparison strongly support its identification as an early 21 Club accessory, consistent with known jockey-themed ashtrays and sculptures from the period. Painted metal jockey shows expected wear to painted surfaces Ceramic ashtray in very good vintage condition Mild glaze crazing, no chips, cracks, or losses Minor wear to gold accents Felt base clean, possibly replaced Jockey securely mounted with no looseness or wobble Art Deco 21 Club artifacts, particularly those incorporating horse racing, jockey figures, and equestrian motifs, are among the most sought-after hospitality collectibles of the early 20th century. Large-format ashtrays of this quality, combining figural sculpture, ceramic, and metal, are exceedingly scarce, especially in this level of preservation. During the late 19th and early early 20th centuries, African American jockeys were among the most celebrated and highly respected athletes in American sport, dominating professional horse racing at its highest levels. In the decades following the Civil War, Black jockeys...

1933 Art Deco Marathon Combination Lighter & Cigarette Case by F. A. Whittaker A rare and collectible example of 1930s novelty smoking accessories, this Marathon combination lighter and cigarette case showcases the elegance and innovation of Art Deco design. Crafted in 1933 by noted designer F. A. Whittaker, the case features a stunning airbrushed geometric pattern in alternating tan/black and grey/black abstract motifs, with a central cartouche that remains unengraved. The reverse is finished in a sophisticated grey and black design, emphasizing the clean, streamlined aesthetic typical of the era. The interior reveals meticulous attention to detail, including a wheel-turned chrome finish, two hinged cigarette holders for added functionality, and a built-in lighter stamped with US Patent No. 1921855 and marked “Marathon, Trade Mark, Pat Applied For.” Lighter fuel can easily be added via the side compartment near the hinge, and the interior remains exceptionally clean and free of issues. This piece shows gentle, expected wear, including minor enamel losses and an indentation at the lower left corner of the case, reflecting its authentic vintage character. Despite these imperfections, it remains a fully functional and highly desirable collector’s item. Marathon cigarette cases were celebrated in the early 20th century for their combination of practicality and artistry, and F. A. Whittaker was a prominent designer whose work elevated everyday smoking accessories into objects of sophistication. Collectors prize these cases for their mechanical ingenuity, stylish Art Deco design, and historical significance, making them a standout addition to any collection of vintage lighters...

This very early Dunhill lighter is highly collectible, is decorated with linear patterns and is accompanied by the Dunhill's fitted box.

Material: Plated .925 Sterling silver over brass. Weight: 48.95 Grams, (31.40 Dwt). Measurements: 50 mm by 34 mm by 12 mm (1.97 x 1.34 x 0.47 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark and signed in full as follow, "ALFRED DUNHILL PARIS FAB. SUISSE MECAN AD SAVORY PATENT". Alfred Dunhill He inherited his father’s London saddlery in 1893. Following the increase in motor car ownership, Alfred developed the business to include motoring accessories, which he called ‘Dunhill’s Motorities’. This included goggles, timepieces, picnic sets, and leather coats, and it wasn’t long before the brand became associated with men’s general motoring attire. They opened two shops in Mayfair and had a catalogue of over 1300 items. Between the 1904 and 1905, Dunhill introduced their ‘Windshield Pipe’, to help drivers combat the effect of wind and travel on their ability to smoke. This marked both the end of the ‘motorities’ focus and their entry into the world of smoking ephemera, and they shortly opened their first tobacconist in 1907 on Duke Street. The proximity to several esteemed Private Members Clubs around the Mayfair, St James’ area ensured that the venture was a success. (From Nicholas Wells With Thanks).
