I've seen a trade magazine cover posted some where with Matchbox Hoveringham trucks all over it and a few years back Vectis sold a presentation pack that was obviously used by Hoveringham to give out to important customers. So this ashtray could have some merit but going off this one photo and with no other information at hand I'd be leaning towards home made by someone.
