Claims:
1. An ornamental design for a glow-in the-dark ashtray, as shown and described.

Description:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a glow-in-the dark ashtray showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of FIG. 1, all sides being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a second embodiment of my design;

FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of FIG. 3, all sides being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 5 is a partial, cross-sectional view of FIG. 2;

FIG. 6 is a partial, cross-sectional view of FIG. 3; and,

FIG. 7 is a partial, cross-sectional view of the third embodiment of my design.

The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment only by the lip of the glow-in-the-dark ashtray. The stippled, horizontal line shading is used to indicate an opaque material having phosphorescence. The parallel diagonal lines are used to indicate a transparent surface. The cross-section views are shown for convenience of illustration.
