DeForest of California was a business run by Jack and Margaret Deforest from 1950-1970. During that time, and mostly in the mid-1950s until about 1961, they produced some of the most unique and whimsical kitchenware ever made. This extra long ashtray is solid, unique and a beautiful MCM relic. Felt risers to reduce scuffing the bottom which also shows the manufacturer and the production number 342.
