2 little box-shaped ashtrays for railcars: one tip-up steel ashtray, and one aluminium ashtray with a turning cover.

 

Assembled on railcars, the first in the '50s and the second in the '80s. For cigarette butts. No longer used after the early '90s due to the prohibition of smoking on all Ferrovie Nord Milano trains. Ashtrays disappeared from Ferrovie Nord railcars beginning in the early ’90s, when all smoking was prohibited on the company’s trains due to the brevity of their routes.
