Antique 1930’s Ashtray

Antique 1930’s Bruxelles Belgium Brass Boy Peeing Figurine Ashtray in fairly decent condition considering it’s age. It looks to me like the ashtray originally had an acorn design with tree limbs on the bottom of the ashtray, although due to its 90+ years of use, it is pretty worn on the bottom of the ashtray, and the acorn design is hard to see. The Brunelleschi boy peeing is just the artistic touch that this antique piece was needing. I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like this before, and that’s why I thought it would be appealing to someone. There is some slight corrosion on the inside of the ashtray, however it doesn’t appear to be eating into the metal at this point and could probably be conditioned and saved if so desired. A wonderful antique piece that is still very collectible.
