Olive Elwill Canada ashtray, model number 117, from 1967 with centenial mark on bottom.
Agnes
When she was little, she liked to hold the dish and rub the centennial mark on the bottom, thinking of a hundred years of history, spilling the contents on the carpet. It had been an ashtray, her mother’s long thin cigarettes resting in the perfect grooves along what Agnes had thought of as the belly of a fish. She kept her brushes there now. Three long, thin sable ones, a gift from her father.
