shipgeeks Posted October 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I found a Thing in a thrift store a few years ago, and I still haven't figured out what it is. It's shiny stainless steel, about the size of the palm of my hand, shaped like a shallow cup, with two prongs along a straight side. French Line is imprinted in the bottom. I'm guessing that it is either a soap dish or an ashtray, to be set into a wall and easily removable for cleaning. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted November 24, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Update: I found a photo in the book "Normandie - Her Life and Times", by Harvey Ardman. Opposite page 85 is a picture of a standard third-class cabin. Single bed, wardrobe, chair, small porthole, sink. On the wall to the side of the sink is a ring holding a water glass. Above the sink are two shell-shaped holders, attached to the wall. I'm guessing one was for soap and one for ashtray. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
