Here's another of my interesting ashtrays. It's ceramic, made by Wade and is in almost perfect condition. I have no clue how it tied back to American football, but as it exists, there must have been a cross promotion going on at some time in the past.
I'm pleased with it as I've never seen another like it at all.
Wade? That's different for them!
Yes, you're right. My only thought is that back in the eighties, American football made something of an effort to make itself popular in the UK. It had limited success but it did peak and I'm wondering if this ashtray is one from the UK that's made its way over here, somehow linking PS with American football in a cross promotion. Other than that, I honestly have no idea regarding its origins.
