February 23, 2020 Ken - I believe this is a "home made" paperweight cut from a segment of shop rail used inside on a roundhouse or shop facility paved floor. The top side groove would've accommodated

February 23, 2020 Ken - Bryan's correct. These cast stainless steel ashtrays were used on the Chuckwagon cars on the Denver Zephyr. This is a rare, hard-to-find Q collectible - Louis Louis Zadnichek
