WW 1 German Ashtray

[Hogtown Hunter]

I was out working today and found this on the side of the road. Guess someone must have just chucked it out a car window? Thought it looked old so I looked it up. It's a WW 1 Era German ashtray that was made in France? Found a couple similar trays online that dont have the "Sir De France " on it . I'm assuming it was made in France while the Germans occupied it?

Looks like it has the center emblem of a German Army buckle worked in. Could be some kind of souvenir of the war in France. Whatever it is, it looks contemporary and a nice reason to start smoking cigars.
