Description: Here is a rare original matching pair of one of the most famous and collectable of all Auböck ashtray or pipe rest designs. These are very heavy and well made and we regularly see single vintage examples, in lesser conditions, selling for over $800. Finding an identical pair is difficult.  Both are signed as shown.
