    Here's a few more maybe semi-interesting (I hope...?) small ashtrays from the collection, prompted by the recent junk store acquisition of the old Holiday Inn example in the middle. It is just about 4" square and likely dates from the 1950's or 60's, as its logo features background silhouettes in the shape of their original (now iconic) enormous neon signs, which mostly disappeared off the face of the earth in the 1970's. It now has a few chips and dings to show its age.

    Next to it (in pics 2-4) on the left are a small rectangular pressed glass (?) pair with a pretty embossed/frosted 'rose' pattern on their undersides. Not certain how old to guess they might be. The plain (much more contemporary, I suppose) round one above it has "MEXICO" on its underside in tiny print, along with its pattern of marble-ish sized bumps. Immediately to its right is an unmarked rectangular clear glass one, heavy for its size and also age unknown, with a unique 1-ended 'artistic' design. To its right is a small ceramic example in a kinda 1970's 80's (?) color/style in tans and browns, marked "POTTERY CRAFT MADE IN U.S.A" on its underside.

    In the bottom row (pics 2-4) the small square one on the left is made of pressed/plated steel. Actually rather nicely made (1960's?) it has a 'rim' stamped around its outside edge with a 2nd small metal piece attached to one corner to serve as the cigarette rest. The round red one in the center is painted sheet metal, from the 1970's, and advertises what was then a (now long gone) local restaurant in the town I grew up in. On the right is a completely plain and unmarked very typical square shape (commonly found in numerous sizes too) only being (slightly) unusual for its ruby-red glass color.
