Hi Jordana,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Ashtrays typically have notches in the sides of the rim where cigarettes and cigars can rest; the lack of those on this - and it's large 7-1/2-inch size - suggest it may have been intended for other uses as well
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Black Americana novelty polychromed cast iron and brass smoking stand

Hollow-molded, in the form of a tuxedo-wearing Black man holding a circular dished brass tray. Unmarked.
33-1/8 inches high overall; brass tray 7 1/2 inches diameter

$200-300*

I've updated the caption and put $400 as the asking price. You should be able to change the asking price on your end if you want to ask more; if you can't figure out how to that let me know what you'd like to ask for it.
I think $400 is fine as is. Is there a place to note that all of the asking prices include shipping?
Thank you for all your help!
Let me forward your comment to our managing direct to see if that's something we should add.
Perfect, thanks!
Hello Jordana,
If a potential buyer is interested in your piece, they will send an offer through our platform and you'll be able to chat back and forth with them, so you can let them know at this time that the shipping price is included. Our marketplace is currently in development and we are always looking for new ways to improve. Perhaps we will add a feature to let sellers know that shipping costs are included in the future. Thank you very much for reaching out and feel free to contact me directly ([email protected]) if you have any further questions or concerns.
Kind regards,
Lindsey Bourret
Managing Director, Mearto
Thank you Delia! Should I change the description to reflect smoking stand? Also, do you have a recommended asking price?
