It's a glass horsehead ashtray with a fancily-scripted signature ...
I'm just not familiar with this at all, and could use any/all help. Thanx!

By golly, Mathues it may be, but no crossed T?

I vote for Frank Mathues. It looks like the line to cross the T is above the T & just touches the top of the H.

I think that the little squiggle before the frank is an initial. and the line going out from the M or whatever that is - is supposed to cross the T artistically.
I wouldn't write it off yet - why else would it be signed so nicely?
Actually, it's kind of hard to read by the pic. Can you do a rubbing of it?

Why is it that everyone who flunks penmanship in grade school goes on to become an artist or a physician?
