This little green glass ashtray with a 6.00-16 Goodyear tire was found in an antique mall that is under new management and is starting to be a mall instead of a junk store!I have never seen one this small,it measures 3-1/4 across and as you can see is as tall as a quarter!
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
I remember when I was a kid my grandma had one of these. It was something I played with on visit grandma day, which was every Sunday! She didn't smoke, it was more of a knickknack, a toy to me!
I remember those, too - I'm a child of the 50s.
Haven't seen one this small before....it is great!!! The larger ones sell like hot cakes here....very collectable!!!!
Of course I love it....have some tire ashtrays too.
Hmmmm.....Looks like the Ashtray inside might be Uranium glass that glows. Can you check it?
Thanks for the great comments,Tassie I totally agree! I couldn't pass it up for less than $20!The larger sell around $35-40 around here.
AR,how do I check?I have another larger one ...somewhere I could check also.
You do not have a UV light? Do you do Ebay at all?
No AR ,and yes sometimes.
Thanks for the love!
We have one of these-70's-
Very Nice!
You should have a UV light, they make small pocket ones. They are good for checking for glass made with Uranium (Vaseline glass) as well as spotting cracks in cast iron and paint touch ups.
When you say 3-1/4 in across, do you mean just the glass or the whole thing? I recently found one with pink glass.
I think I will look into one,and the 3-1/4 is total diameter of the tire!Post the pink one!
Wow, That is a little one. I have never seen one that small. On ebay that would be a Salesmen's Sample,lol
I'll post mine.
I have a bunch of these,but not this small.......Salesman sample for a salesman give-a-way!lol
I used to have a slew of them. I quit smoking over 35 years ago and lost interest in most ashtrays. I still have a few of the unusual ones. I would buy one of those toy ones in a hurry. Actually, I have old toy cigarettes,lol
hey I need to put some of those in these ,never thought of that.I like to add details to my stuff when they are displayed.
