Produced in the United Kingdom, this hybrid object unites automobilia with smoking‑related design, reflecting the period’s cultural associations between motoring, leisure, and alcohol.
The ceramic base presents a clean, glossy finish, while the mounted diecast model exhibits the characteristic detailing and craftsmanship for which Lesney’s Yesteryear series is recognised. Together, they form an unusual decorative accessory with strong appeal to collectors of vintage cars, barware, and smoking memorabilia.
