Good one Bill, this brings back memories. At our house there were ashtrays scattered around the house, these were normal sized, fitting for two smokers. We also had a massive @12-14” square ashtray, similarly pictured in the attached link, that was kept under the bar and brought out for large gatherings. The depth of this tray was @2” below the rim at the center. The morning after always amazed me as the mound of butts would be 4 or five inches above the rim. This mass of an untold number of butts decided gravity.

On a side note. The Fred Hill drill team was lovely. In Topeka, Fred Hill ran a mens shop where most business men went for suits. We, over time, even got to go for a wardrobe freshen up occasionally. His customers would leave his shop looking much like the team in the video. Hmmm
