What a sweet little fella, Rob! :) Are there letters in the 3rd picture on donkey's side? It looks like O G followed by a swiggle S shape...?

I'd say probably not an ashtray, more like a small dish the sort of thing that might have held peanuts or even as a small wotnot holder (small change, keys etc.)

BTW what's this I hear on the grapevine about something good being found near me? Private email me about it if you prefer it not public atm.  :kissy:

I'm going with the nut dish theory. What kind of nuts are found in Mexico, or Greece?

Greece likes nuts apparently: http://www.helleniccomserve.com/nutsaboutnuts.html - in Mexico they seem to have pecans, pine nuts and cashews.
