Answer to Victor About Phony Ashtray

As with most phonies they are easy to spot.

This particular tray is like a few others that have shown up in the last year or so.

The maker has done a scan of a legitimate tray or found a logo and printed it on photo paper, then cut it out and pasted it in the bowl of the tray. Then they have painted over it with an acrylic sealer.

Real trays had the logos fired on with heat stable ink at very high temperatures.

What few there are have come from Missouri and New York.
