70-71 Ash Tray with Teak Wood Handle?

Check this out, has anyone ever seen or heard of an early Z ash tray like this before?

The only Series 1 ashtray I've ever seen in person is the one for my car. On mine, the handle and the lid are molded as one piece. Until now, all the versions I've seen on ebay have looked just like the one I have.

I suspect someone has tried to take the "wood look" to another level. I'll give them credit, in the picture it looks professionally done. I think I'll be leaving mine alone though, I like the way it looks as is:)

There are several variations of the early ash tray and one did have a separate handle.

Looks like someone had their handle fall off and did this instead of simply re-gluing the old one back on.

Series one ash trays did not come with a teak handle. Although it looks pretty good, probably matches the rest of the teak interior, it is not correct.
