Just thought I would give you more info on this particular ashtray. I have been doing glass for some time now and have had experience in pricing this stuff and there is customarily 2 ways to figure it, by the square foot, and by the piece. Usually custom work like this in a is figured in a a flat two demensional way. (even things that are built in 3 demensions are figured the same way). This is based on $90.00 a square foot that would be about .625 cents per square inch. Of course materials and labor are figured into that. This ashtray is about 45 square inches of material which would make this ash tray based on the figure above. $ 28.125. The other way glass is often figured is by the peice. At the usual $3.00 a piece, this ashtrey having 13 peices, would be 39.00. Average between the two estimates would be $33.56.
I thought that this might give some of you something to think about in regards to the value of the ashtray. I think what I am asking for in return for it is fair. Just thought I would give you something a little more to chew on. As always your comments are welcome. Roger.
By the way this Ash Tray is also enirely soldered with non lead solder as well. So you don't have to worry about any lead poisoning. LOL.
