Anyone have a good pic of a period-correct ash pan for a '56-57 18.5?

I need to know what I'm looking for (i know it's probably hopeless).

Thanks!

Technically, remove that twist on and BAM! It's period correct. The utility shelf below was more often than not, used as an ash tray. It wasn't until about 1960 that the early "Wood Dale" style pans with the swivel clips came out. As the twist on is post 1964 it is very likely that sometime in the 60s or 70s the owner at the time got a replacement ash catcher and added it.

awesome- thanks for that!

If you find you don't need the twist on anymore I might just have a use for it on my new acquisition.... Lol

Hoss......that would likely be a too tight of fit......his ancient "Custom" is an 18.5" so that ash pan is tiny......might not even fit a 22"

I didnt even see the size in the title! Yeah, that would be a little bit of a tight fit... I really need to read everything more thoroughly! Lol
