Stunning! The item presented at auction is a rare vintage FIAT promotional ashtray or desk ashtray, designed by Mepal Service Lic. Denmark and drawn by Adolfo Opel. The ashtray is a promotional item for the dealership "Fratelli BRUNERO s.n.c." with an illustration of a vintage car. The ashtray consists of a white melamine body, with the FIAT logo at the center and the mark "MEPAL - SERVICE - Designed by A. OPEL" clearly visible on the bottom. Its dimensions are 20.5 x 9.5 x 1.5 cm, weighing about 0.78 kg. The ashtray presents good overall aesthetic condition, still with a splendid shine despite slight signs of wear that do not diminish the object's beauty but rather attest to its era. The ashtray has an enchanting silhouette, a beautiful font with splendid characters and magnificent coloring. The ashtray comes from a private collection of Fiat automotive sport memorabilia.

An item difficult to find today, a "must" for any collector, perfect for completing any collection related to motor sports, FIAT-branded items, or memorabilia of classic advertising brands. Item intended for collecting or decorative use. Item seen and liked from photographic documentation and in its current state always as shown in the photographic documentation.
