For your consideration is an exceptionally rare and very well preserved 1960’s period Enrico Nardi Ferrari ashtray. This ashtray was used as a promotional advertising piece in the 1960’s and often found in official Ferrari dealerships throughout the world. Very limited production of these special ashtrays were manufactured and they are considered the pinnacle of automotive ashtray collections due to there rarity and beauty. The ashtray features a steering wheel design produced in porcelain ceramic with a glazed finish. 
The design is iconic and resembles the renowned wooden steering wheels that Nardi produced for some of the worlds finest automobiles. The steering wheel design on the ashtray features beautiful touches including the silver gilt detail and the Cavallino Rampante horn button. Enrico Nardi personally signed each ashtray by hand, hence the valuable and limited nature. The ashtray also has the hand painted Ronzan signature underneath and it’s original ‘Made in Italy’ sticker. The ashtray presents itself very well and being for the well known and much loved Ferrari brand, it is almost impossible to come by.

The full shipping and packaging will be covered by me (free postage). This nostalgic and highly collectible ashtray is very striking and would be perfectly suited for an enthusiast to have on display. It has been privately owned and enjoyed.Free worldwide shipping.

I’m sure we can all pick outliers or examples to support our price expectations. But other than the one example you posted these would be considered in the high side at the $2k range. Good luck with the sale.

Hello everyone and welcome to the auction.
I hope I have covered everything with the advert but please just reach out if you have any questions.
Just to confirm, I am offering free worldwide shipping for this ashtray. The only aspect I do not cover with the free shipping is the customs/import duty when the item reaches the new owner (unless based in the United Kingdom).
I wish you all the very best and many thanks again for your interest.
Kind regards
