Description: Real, 100 years old antique. Vintage metal ashtray, embossed with a figure of a dog and Lithuanian text that reads: “J. KARVELIO IR J. RINKEVIČIAUS PR-BOS NAMAI.” This appears to be a personalized or commemorative piece, possibly linked to Lithuanian history. In the interwar period, when Antanas Smetona was President of Lithuania (1926-1940), such items were sometimes created as custom-made or commemorative objects. Smetona’s era was marked by a nationalist and somewhat authoritarian focus, often accompanied by patriotic symbols and custom-made items for those associated with notable positions or local businesses. The names “J. Karvelio” and “J. Rinkevičiaus” likely refer to individuals or a business partnership, and “PR-BOS NAMAI” might signify a company name or a production house, as “PR-BOS” could be short for “prekybos” (trade) or a similar term in Lithuanian. While it may not be directly associated with Smetona himself, this ashtray reflects a style and era reminiscent of interwar Lithuania. Items from this time often featured personalized engravings or family symbols, and the ashtray itself, with its thick, sturdy look, aligns with the durable style favored in that period. If you’re interested in the historical value, this could indeed be a rare piece, especially if linked to a well-known business or personality from that era.
