The wooden pipe holder is c.2.3/4" x 4.3/4"; c.3/4" thick [7cm x 12cm x 1.8cm]. The terrier is c.2" tall, c.2.1/2" x 1.1/4" [5.1cm x 6.3cm x 3.2cm]. Felt and metallic label on the bottom, little wear considering the age, very good condition.
McDonald Products was also founded in Buffalo, NY, in 1930, by metalworker Edward McDonald, upon his purchase of the Serv-A-Light Co., a developer of smoker stands with attached battery-operated cigar lighters. With his background in metalworking, he led the company in their development of a wide variety of ornamental smoking stands, pipe racks, ashtrays, floor stands, and a silent butler, which they marketed and sold primarily to gift shops. In 1934, Mr. McDonald put a small duck finger lever on top of his scissor-action ashtray, thus giving birth to what became one of the company’s most well-known products, the Duk-It ashtray, and Company’s logo.
