Has anyone out there got one of these ?

I've never seen one of these in the past but have seen three examples in the last week! Two in antiques shops in Hungerford, UK. and there's one in an auction on the 11th of November. I was intrigued by the item because I have an ashtray in the shape of Australia with a Lockheed Electra attached. The arm which supports the aircraft is Identical to the others although there is no script.
Below is a link to the auction.

Gosh I had forgotten about this post.  Had a look at the picture at the auction house and it looks exactly the same as mine.  I say mine but I gave it to my only nephew which means it's probably stuffed away in the attic.
