1950's Vintage Donkey Mechanical Cigarette Dispenser

This older mechanical donkey/mule is a classic novelty which dispenses a cigarette via the rear end when the larger pointed ears are pulled forward and the tail is lifted from the backside. The basket on top of the muleâe(tm)s back holds the cigarettes and has a lift-off lid. The donkey measures 7 1/2âe high to the top of the floppy ears. It is 8âe from the ends of the base. T is also a silver metal ashtray found on the base. I am not sure if this is original to the cigarette dispenser or not. Everything is in very good, clean, and sturdy condition - no chips, flakes, or cracks.
