WWII 133rd Infantry"Red Bull" Soapstone Ashtray

This belonged to a member of the 133rd Infantry (WWII). It may have been a souvenir of the War. I did see another one made of ceramic that possibly came from Italy.

This is an ashtray carved out of what looks like soapstone, but I don't know how the "Red Bull" is affixed to the center. It looks as though it was carved from the main piece--not glued or affixed--but perhaps it was "inlaid". It measures 5" long by 4". It is heavy.

Thought a WWII collector might like this.
