Overview

Stand has a circular flattened bell-shaped base from the centre of which rises a horizontal half-circle of chrome strip. From the curved outside edge of the semi-circle rise twelve metal spikes, each 36mm long. In the centre of the semi-circle is a small chrome clip, perhaps to hold a card with the brand of the cigarette holders on it. The spikes originally held a cigarette holder on each.
