I powder coated a miniature dachshund for my daughter

My dad passed away in 2016. Back in the mid-70's, we'd visit his parents. His dad had his "man cave" in the basement. I remember the turtle shaped ash tray his dad used for his cigars. When Dad's father passed about 20 years ago, he inherited that turtle ash tray. However, it had rusted terribly over the years. My Dad asked me if I could "restore" It. I sand blasted it and powder coated it with a "gold vein" powder coating. He loved it. He put loose change in it overnight, but never used it as an ashtray. When he passed in 2016, us kids were respectful when it came to the fact there was no legal will. The only thing I asked for was that turtle ash tray. Just let me say, I can relate. (The ashtray is in storage, otherwise I'd take a picture and post it.)
