Paul,

What you have is a great ashtray. They show up from time to time and usually sell for $75-100.00.

Early on Pappy Smith leased out the liquor consessions in Harolds Club, as he wanted nothing to do with alcohol. In fact, early on you couldn't get a drink in Harolds Club, but Pappy wised up and rather than sell liquor himself he hired others to do it.

This tray is from the first liquor concession in Harolds Club, that being "Leo's Bar." Leo was Leo Schwarz. Later, on Harolds Club took over the concessions and ran their own bars.

And that my friend, is your lesson in Reno history for today!!

Rumor has it the elephant was a juicer!!! He looks happy in his work.
