Certainly looks like an ashtray, but what purpose would the beanbag part serve aside from making it a less-stable ashtray? Think it's full of charcoal to absorb odors?

I think it was so you could put it on the arm of your chair and not have it fall off. The chairs arms were rounded. That's what my dad did with his.
