Sometimes Repair isn't practical

On my last 356 I restored the ashtray, as well as all the other chrome parts on the dash.  Really looked great.  Actually before restoring the ashtray, I bought a replacement from one of the standard suppliers.  However, I was very disappointed in the replacement part.  I took the photo below comparing the creases in the face of the ashtray.  The creases/lines in the replacement part is much subtile, not well defined like the original.  See comparison photo below.  Anyway, that repro part was shipped back and I removed the chrome on the original and had it restored.  I then reconditioned all the other pieces and reassembled.  Result was great.  However,,,, 

However this time the ashtray is actually broken.  No practical repair available and I had already decided I did not want repro.
Patience and some $$$ and a correct NOS one became available to me.  Photos below show the NOS one and the broken original.  Happy to have this to install!!
