Is this griswold ashtray anymore valuable?

[Stasha Massey]

I have this griswold ashtray and of course we’ve all seen many of these but I can’t find one with the patent No on the handle like this one.. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

I don't find it difficult to find several examples online, by simply searching griswold ashtray patent. Being that incised markings are in the pattern, there would have to be hundreds if not thousands made bearing the patent number verbiage. The #00/570 ashtray was made with two different handle styles, the ones seen with the patent number are earlier. Those collecting them probably want to acquire both styles and chrome plated versions as well. Small pieces like toys and ashtrays were widely counterfeited, so collectors need to be aware of and avoid the fakes.
